DeVonta Smith Week 3 Outlook - Eagles at Saints

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Wed, Sep 18th 2024, 10:37pm EDT

DeVonta Smith stepped up in the absence of A.J. Brown to post an overall WR14 finish in Week 2. The Eagles and Jalen Hurts will count on Smith once again with Brown sidelined when they travel to the Bayou to take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. It remains to be seen if the Saints will get Marshon Lattimore back after the cornerback missed last week's game due to injury. If Lattimore remains out, it greatly improves Smith's chances for a big game. Even with Lattimore on the field, Smith should see a fair amount of slot corner Alontae Taylor. Opposing quarterbacks have a 99.3 quarterback rating when targeting Taylor since the beginning of last season.
