News: 8 hours agoSmith secured nine of 11 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 28-22 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Spin: Smith led the Eagles across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets with totals that were also season-high figures for the talented receiver. The 2021 first-round pick's yardage tally was additionally a career high, and Smith got there with a big hand from his 79-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, his second score of the season. Jalen Hurts has been much more active as a passer over the last three games, and Smith has been a beneficiary, posting a 21-346-1 line on 26 targets in that span. Smith next will take aim at the Giants' inconsistent defense in a Week 8 home matchup next Sunday afternoon.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Smith is entering his fifth NFL season having finished each of the past three in the top 20 among WRs in fantasy PPG. Smith has posted a target share of at least 22% in all four seasons, and the Eagles' high-scoring offense has allowed him seven-plus TDs in three straight campaigns. Smith's output is a bit volatile due to the presence of heavily targeted A.J. Brown in an offense that leads off with Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts, and leans heavily on them near the goal line, but there is just enough volume and scoring opportunity here to keep Smith in the weekly WR3 mix.
