Best DeVonta Smith Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
DeVonta Smith O 71.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Smith is coming off an impressive outing. In Week 2 vs. the Titans, the wideout caught 10-of-13 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown, which is the type of upside Smith brings nowadays with A.J. Brown no longer with the Eagles.
Last week was the sixth game Smith has played without Brown the last three seasons and Smith is averaging six catches for 76.8 yards per game in these contests. The receiver has finished with 76+ yards in four of these six games and his usage has been elite in these tilts, seeing a target on 30% of his routes and averaging 2.8 YPPR.
Smith’s aDOT increases to 13.5 and he has racked up 10 targets over 20 yards in these games. After torching the Titans last week, Smith gets a beautiful matchup vs. the Bears tonight, who are giving up the fifth-most yards per pass (8.3) and rank eighth in pace this season.
Chicago uses man coverage at the third-highest rate (43.3%). Smith ranks fourth in YPPR against man coverage this season (4.5) among the players who have run at least 10 routes against this type of coverage. Dallas Goedert (knee) will also be out for the Eagles, which should increase Smith’s already huge target share. The receiver should flourish tonight and must be backed for over 71.5 yards.
