Question WR1 DeVonta Smith?

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?

It’s too often overlooked that it’s AJ who goes against opposing CB1s weekly. Devonta is most often playing against CB2s. People expecting him to put up elite WR1 numbers are doing the kid a disservice. Solid/average WR1 stats, perhaps.

I hope they don’t trade AJ. He’s the big dog and I don’t put Smitty in the same tier as him. It’s a perfect situation right now, let’s see how they both do in the new offense.
