Plus
- Yates PPR 43rd — Eagles WR2 who still wins on routes when Hurts is in rhythm.
- Championship-window offense; WR3 with WR2 weeks is a useful redraft profile.
- Shows up on four-plus Ball Keep lists — not a one-board meme.
Minus
- Off The Keep top 50 — Philadelphia's structure caps the true WR1 outcome.
- Hurts' rushing TDs steal the paint; Smith is often the 'other' look.
- Expert spread is wide (RotoWire 42, PFN (Katz/Soppe) 44, ESPN (Karabell) 52, Dynasty Nerds 65…). You are betting with one camp, not a unanimous tape.
Ball Keep Take
DeVonta Smith is the Eagles receiver you start with a clear-ish conscience and never pay WR1 money for. Yates 43rd in PPR, Keep off the top 50. The 2025-26 reel is Smith getting open, which he has always done. Philadelphia will keep scoring. Someone has to catch the timing throws that aren't A.J. Brown anymore.
Superflex has too many young WRs and too many QBs to keep Smith in a top 50. That is not a fade of the player. That is the format eating veterans alive. If you are contending in redraft, Smith is a WR3 who can pop. If you are rebuilding in dynasty, he is a sell to an Eagles fan.
Do not stack him with Hurts and think you built a dynasty core. Do stack him with Hurts in a 2026 redraft if the ADP is kind. Time horizon. Always time horizon.
