DeVonta Smith
vs Omarion Hampton

“Highest % of Team's Receiving Yardage in a Game by a Rookie WR Since 2021 78%- Ladd McConkey (Wk 13 of 2024) 72%- Drake London (Wk 15 of 2022) 72%- DeVonta Smith (Wk 9 of 2021) 71%- Malik Nabers (Wk 2 of 2024) 69%- Carnell Tate (Wk 6 of 2026) 67%- Puka Nacua (Wk 7 of 2023) — Kyle Borgognoni (@kyle_borg) October 19, 2026 DeVonta Smith was only 3rd on the team in routes BUT was targeted on 35% of his routes.”

“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.”

““ DeVonta Smith is a scary play this week. Philadelphia’s passing volume remains underwhelming, and Trent McDuffie will likely be matched up with him for much of the game. McDuffie has only allowed three receptions for 61 yards and no touchdowns this year, so I’d be a bit surprised if DeVonta lives up to his WR10 price tag this week.” – Jim Moorman ( Dynasty Football Factory )”

“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.”

“Hampton was third among the backs in snaps with 32.4%, second in rushing share (28.1%), and third in route share (24.4%). Hampton finished with 11 touches and 53 total yards. It was his lowest touch count of the season.”

“While Omarion Hampton has been the lead back, he hasn’t come close to justifying his early second-round price tag over three weeks. Keaton Mitchell is eating into some of those high-value touches (not that the Chargers get many), and Hampton’s limited receiving role is capping his fantasy ceiling even further. If drafting today, I wouldn’t consider Hampton until the middle of the fourth round.”

“With his route share declining and only a 3.4% target share this season, Hampton can easily be game-scripted out weekly if his usage continues to sit in this area code. That easily could happen this week against Seattle. The Seahawks’ run defense also is no joke, as they have allowed the third-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest rushing success rate, and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate.”

“The Fantasy Points Data Suite also shows that, among 31 qualifying running backs, Omarion Hampton ranks 25th in yards before contact per attempt ( 1.28) and has been stuffed on 46% of his carries. It’s a nightmare for Hampton managers because Seattle hasn’t allowed a rushing touchdown in three games. The volume will be there, as Hampton commands 61.7% of the rushing attempts, but it’s hard to see him finding the end zone.”

“I have been in many situations where people have told me that they have a “great” trade offer… newsflash: fantasy managers can be remarkably persuasive when they are trying to convince you that Omarion Hampton is definitely worth the Lions defense and Brandon Aubrey . Before you accept anything, ask yourself the same basic questions we have been asking all along: Will this player actually make my team better? Would I have to get rid of one of the only reliable players that I have?”

“Hampton is still considered a borderline top-five dynasty running back in the eyes of many. Definitely don’t sell him for any less than what he’s currently worth. In player-for-player deals, I’d be happy shipping Hampton off for guys like Drake London or George Pickens .”
