DeVonta Smith catches six passes in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith caught six passes (on eight targets) for 65 yards during the team’s Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears.

Why It Matters: Philadelphia’s passing game was pretty much a flop on Monday night, but Smith at least made a handful of plays while more than doubling anyone else on the team in terms of receiving yardage. He’s off to a solid start in his role as the No. 1 receiver, averaging 6.3 receptions for 78.3 yards per game through three weeks. As new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion continues to grow comfortable in his role, we should see better overall results from Jalen Hurts and company. Continue to view Smith as a solid WR2.
