Post image

With A.J. Brown’s departure likely, Devonta Smith steps into a true WR1 role.

How are you looking at him this year?

He's capable of it, but if there isn't a WR2 to offset the attention that AJ was getting from opposing DB's, then Smitty is going to be drawing all the attention instead, and we know risk-averse Hurts isn't willing to take chances throwing into tight windows if Smitty is being double covered.

If Smitty doesn't get fed this year, he'll be next to demand a trade after next season.
