DeVonta Smith - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

DeVonta Smith - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

one year ago

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will take on the Minnesota Vikings in the team's home opener Thursday night. The former Heisman winner caught seven passes and scored in Week 1 against a stiff New England defense and draws an even better matchup this week. Minnesota's secondary had a tough time stopping Baker Mayfield and company last week and will struggle to keep quarterback Jalen Hurts in check while accounting for three top-tier receivers in Smith, A.J. Brown, and Dallas Goedert. Starting running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) will also miss this game, potentially leading to an increased amount of passes thrown. There are few weeks that Smith will not be a recommended fantasy option this season, with this one being no exception. Fire the 24-year-old as a high-end WR2 in Week 2.
