DeVonta Smith Week 12 Outlook - Eagles at Rams

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 21st 2024, 1:05pm EST

In Philly's run-centric offense, Smith has dropped to the WR31 in fantasy points per game. He has failed to surpass seven fantasy points in three of his last five games. Yes, he has three scores across his last seven games, but you can't count on touchdown production like that when the player's red zone has essentially been zilch, and they are dependent upon big plays. Since Week 3, Smith has had one red zone target. Since Week 6, Smith has had a 20.1% target share, a 24.4% air-yard share, 1.86 YPRR, and a 28.4% first-read share. It's a great matchup this week for Smith, so maybe he can rattle off a big play or two and pay off despite my volume concerns. Since Week 6, the Rams have allowed the eighth-most receiving yards per game and the seventh-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
