DeVonta Smith
vs Javonte Williams

“Smith could remain sidelined another week or two, and with Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby injured, the Eagles are in danger of imploding. Add in Lane Johnson’s retirement and Jalen Hurts ‘ inability to feed his receivers, and I just don’t see a path where DeVonta can pay off at these prices. I’d be willing to swap DeVonta for Coker straight up, but you can likely get a FLEX-worthy play on top of Coker, based on market prices.” – Jim Moorman ( Dynasty Football Factory )”

“The passing volume simply isn’t there with Jalen Hurts under center; Smith would need to post some otherworldly per-route efficiency numbers to even sniff a top-12 wide receiver finish this season. Count me out.”

“Over two games this season, Smith has 38.9% of the team's targets against Cover 1, averaging 2.74 yards per route run.”

“DeVonta Smith ‘ s 36% target share is the 5th highest among all WRs so far.”

“DeVonta Smith was expected to shift into a feature role following Philadelphia’s decision to deal A.J. Brown to New England, but it appears that the Eagles missed the memo. Quarterback Jalen Hurts hardly threw passes all afternoon, completing just 14 passes for 203 yards, primarily deep strikes to Dallas Goedert and Dontayvion Wicks .”

“Smith ranks as Andy’s WR9 in a matchup against the Commanders, who ranked last in yards allowed per game last season.”

“the Bengals hints that DeVonta Smith will play significant slot snaps, too, which probably bodes well for Smith’s fantasy value.”

“01 | DeVonta Smith | WR, Philadelphia Eagles DeVonta Smith ‘s Athletic Profile Last season, DeVonta Smith finished just outside of WR2 range with an underwhelming 11.9 FPPG.”

“Ladd McConkey and DeVonta Smith were also considered. 4.11: Jaylen Waddle (WR – DEN) Jaylen Waddle is being overlooked as he enters his first year with the Broncos.”

“However, Smith was outstanding when seeing enough volume, averaging 19.3 fantasy points per game in the seven contests where he had seven or more targets, scoring 20 or more in nearly a third of those outings.”

“Smith is a perfect WR pairing with Nabers, bringing a player fantasy managers should feel good about not only being the top target on their team, but one who has proven he can carry the load as a top-12 WR for fantasy.”

“Javonte Williams is averaging 2.6 yards per carry through two weeks, and half of his carries have gone for two or fewer yards. He ranks second-lowest in rushing first downs and has looked slower this season. The Cowboys’ offensive line ranks last in yards before contact.”

“The Cowboys offensive line has struggled without Tyler Smith , and it has shown with Williams averaging 3.4 and 2.5 rushing yards per attempt so far. It will get better for Williams, but it may not be this week. Baltimore has the makings to make this a track meet early against a dreadful Cowboys defense, leaving Dallas no option but to toss the ball around the park in Rio.”

“While I believe the aforementioned Judkins and Javonte Williams are good backs, I am not sold that they are great. However, both RBs get nearly all of the work for their respective backfields. I’m no chemist, but I know that if you mix bad defenses with high-powered offenses, you often get fireworks.”

“Last year, Javonte Williams was a massive surprise in fantasy football to everyone, including me.”

“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) A breakout that surprised even his believers, as Williams finished RB11 in points per game after most expectations topped out at a volume-driven RB2.”

“” – Aaron St Denis ( Fantasy Sports Advice Network ) Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) “If I end up with a late pick, Javonte Williams is the running back I’m targeting when I get to Round 3. Last year, he was awesome in his first year with Dallas, racking up 1,338 total yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.”

“Javonte Williams is coming off a season with more than 1,200 rushing yards and is in a high-powered offense.”

“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) was actually the RB1 in fantasy points per game last year, yet he’s being drafted like a mid-tier RB2 this year.”

“Round 5: DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI) Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was staring me in the face, but with a FLEX spot still available in a PPR league, I couldn’t pass up DeVonta Smith .”
