Outlook DeVonta Smith
DeVonta Smith vs. Panthers — Cleared to Play as Philadelphia's Primary Target
DeVonta Smith was completely cleared from the injury report and will return to action against the Panthers after nursing a hamstring injury. With quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley both ruled out, Tanner McKee steps in under center, positioning Smith as the clear lead weapon in the passing attack.
While Smith is slated for heavy volume, backup quarterback play and a low 39-point game total keep his ceiling grounded. Our projections forecast roughly 7 targets and 29 yards (6.2 fantasy points). Having rebounded to a 48% start rate across fantasy leagues, he profiles as a matchup-dependent Flex option rather than an automatic starter.

Outlook Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at New England — Deep-League Dart Throw in Shorthanded Offense
Williams serves as the Jets' primary slot option and flashed big-play ability with a 58-yard touchdown reception against Chicago. With perimeter receiver Adonai Mitchell ruled out, New York's passing attack could look toward Williams for quick underneath targets alongside Garrett Wilson.
Even with extra opportunity available, his fantasy floor remains thin. We project Williams for 2.2 receptions, 23 receiving yards, and 5.1 fantasy points as 7-point road underdogs in New England. Rostered in just 3% of leagues with a sub-1% start rate, he is strictly a deep-league flier rather than a viable starting option.
