Antonio Williams Primed for More Targets with Terry McLaurin Sidelined
Head coach Dan Quinn recently highlighted that Stefon Diggs won't see an expanded workload with Terry McLaurin sidelined, explicitly calling on Williams to step up. The rookie wideout has flashed impressive efficiency when called upon, totaling 18 receptions for 205 yards and a touchdown through six games, including 50 receiving yards on four targets in his last outing.
Our weekly projection slates Williams for 7.4 fantasy points, estimating roughly 2.7 receptions for 34 yards against Philadelphia. Rostered in just 18% of leagues, the increased opportunity elevates him into a viable deep-league flex option and priority bench stash.

Outlook DeVonta Smith
Hamstring Concerns Cloud Status Despite Heavy Target Demand
DeVonta Smith remains questionable heading into Week 8 as he manages a nagging hamstring injury that kept him out last week. With Jalen Hurts sidelined on injured reserve, Philadelphia relies on Tanner McKee under center, but Smith already proved capable with McKee after turning 14 targets into seven catches, 75 yards, and a touchdown in his last outing.
His start percentage has plummeted to 18% amid availability worries, though our weekly projection still pegs him for approximately five receptions and 64 yards if cleared. Due to soft-tissue re-injury risk and backup quarterback play, fantasy managers should check back often for practice updates before locking him into starting lineups.
