DeVonta Smith<\/a> is about as steady as it comes as a WR2 for fantasy football. Lining up on the opposite side of A.J. Brown has helped him become one of the league’s better receivers. Jalen Hurts has cooled off after his hot start in the league, but he continues to get the ball in Smith’s hands. Will Smith continue his consistency in 2024?<\/p>\n

2023 in Review<\/h3>\n

For the second year in a row, Smith produced numbers some teams are lucky to get out of their best receiver. It’s a lot of pressure to perform when Brown is on the other side of the field, but Smith gets it done. Two straight years with 80+ receptions, 1,000+ yards and seven touchdowns. He even upped his game a notch last year by raising his yards per catch to 13.2 when it was 12.6 in 2022.<\/p>\n

Smith was a bit inconsistent last year early in the season and then again at the very end of the season. Those who were expecting a big game from him in week 17 for their championship were certainly disappointed. He finished with less than 10 fantasy points in 9\/16 fantasy games for standard leagues and 5\/16 games for PPR leagues.<\/p>\n

2024 Projection<\/h3>\n

Piggybacking off of the last part of his 2023 review, Smith needs to be consistent. It starts with catching more of his targets, and that’s a reflection of both him and Hurts<\/a>. Both of them need to take a step forward with that this year. The Eagles know Smith has a lot of talent and need to figure out how to make the most of it.<\/p>\n

Even though DeVonta Smith is already an elite WR. <\/p>\n

Putting him in Kellen Moores motion heavy offense is going to be amazing. <\/p>\n
