The Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith didn’t practice on Wednesday while dealing with a hamstring injury.
Smith is leading the Eagles in receptions this season with 41. He has totaled 516 yards and four touchdowns during nine games this year. Smith is WR26 this season in PPR fantasy football leagues.
A.J. Brown has caught 33 passes for 618 yards and three touchdowns. He has played seven games this season after missing three due to injury. A.J. Brown is WR30, but since Week 6, he has been WR7. Brown is averaging 15 points per game during that stretch.
Smith has had at least four catches in three of the past four games. If he cannot go, Brown’s target share will surely increase. Brown only has one 100-yard game in the past five games. He has yet to score a touchdown since October 20.
This week, the Eagles play the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET.
Brown has been a top-10 WR throughout the past six weeks, but if Smith is out, he has the potential to be a top-three receiver. Brown has been targeted at least seven times in the past two weeks. He also has the second most yards among WRs in the past six weeks with 499 behind Ja’Marr Chase.
