Starting Devonta Smith after injury in fantasy football vs Commanders?

On November 15, 2024By Littum

Devonta Smith has been up and down in some spots this year for the Philadelphia Eagles — he’s scored four times but has yet to top 100 yards in a game in 2024.

That said, he’s seen six or more goals four times, and despite coming off limited practice late before Thursday night’s game against the Washington Commanders, he’s playing in a game that could be a shootout, so the stats could be there.

Plus, it’s his birthday. Do with that information what you will.

So: should you start him? We say: yes. He’s a WR3 with upside for more against the Commanders and I’d bet on him finding the end zone.
