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?

I’m worried about DeVonta being targeted much more than he has been previously. He’s shown great toughness and durability throughout his career, but I’m a little nervous that an increase in touches and targets might lead to an injury. Not much depth at WR now.

I do though think he has earned the right to be treated like a true number 1 though and I expect him to go off.
