DeVonta Smith enters the 2026 season as the Philadelphia Eagles’ clear primary wide receiver following A.J. Brown’s offseason trade, positioning him for an elevated target share in coordinator Sean Mannion’s offense. Through two games he has posted 13 receptions on 19 targets for 170 yards and one touchdown, including a 10-catch outing in Week 2. The absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) has further concentrated looks toward Smith, who practiced fully and cleared the injury report for Week 3 despite a midweek hamstring concern. His role as the top option in a run-heavy scheme that still features Saquon Barkley and emerging contributors such as Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks will determine whether he sustains or exceeds early pace toward a career-high reception total over the full 17-game schedule.
