DeVonta Smith In Line For Bounce Back Performance Against Bengals

4 weeks ago

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will go on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. The former Heisman winner finished with just one reception for a loss of two yards in last week's blowout win over the rival New York Giants, marking the first time this season he had finished outside the top 30 wide receivers. Before the team's Week 5 bye, Smith had averaged nine targets per game and seven receptions. He was used sparingly against the Browns in Week 6 before last week's game. This, however, is the perfect bounce-back spot against a Bengals defense that ranks middle of the pack against wide receivers but has given up the 11th-most passing yards in the league through seven weeks. A.J. Brown will get him, but Smith should be considered a strong WR2 despite last week's disappointing performance.
