Analysis

Jalen Hurts (concussion) was knocked out of the game early, and backup QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) focused most of his attention on A.J. Brown, who came away with an 8-97-1 line on 15 targets. Smith posted modest numbers on decent volume, but Kenneth Gainwell had the only other reception for the Eagles on the day aside from the top two wideouts. Pickett was also injured late in the game, which means Philly could be facing the prospect of having Tanner McKee -- a 2023 sixth-round pick who has yet to attempt a pass in the NFL -- under center in Week 17 against Dallas. If that happens, the ceiling for Smith and the rest of the offense would be severely compromised.

Analysis

Smith led the Eagles' strong showing through the air, pacing the team in targets and receptions. He tallied long gains of 22 and 20 yards to surpass 100 yards for the first time on the campaign. Smith also hauled in a two-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter, his second score in as many games since returning from a hamstring injury. His opportunities are often relatively limited -- this marked the first time he's topped seven targets since Week 3 -- which has caused inconsistent production, though Smith showcased his fantasy potential with this performance.

Analysis

While his yardage was modest in his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Smith connected with Jalen Hurts for a four-yard score just before halftime. It's Smith's first TD since Week 9, and he also hasn't reached 40 receiving yards in any of his three appearances during that stretch. He'll try to build on Sunday's effort in Week 15 against the Steelers.

Analysis

The Eagles held a walkthrough Wednesday, so Smith's listing of full was merely an estimate. With an uncapped practice now under his belt this week, he's set to put an end to a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. On Sunday, Smith will be taking on a Panthers defense that has given up a 25-287-2 line on 39 targets to opposing wide receivers over the last two contests.

Analysis

For the first time since Week 10, Smith logged his first uncapped practice session after a lingering hamstring injury sidelined him for the Eagles' past two games. He thus is poised to return to action Sunday against the Panthers, and he could be in line for an elevated role due to tight end Dallas Goedert being considered week-to-week due to a knee issue. In nine appearances this season, Smith has compiled a 38-441-2 receiving line on 46 targets.

Analysis

Smith has missed two straight contests due to a hamstring injury, though he reportedly made a push to suit up for Philadelphia's 24-19 win at Baltimore in Week 13 before being made inactive. With tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) looking likely to miss Sunday's game against the Panthers and potentially more time beyond that, Smith's availability has become increasingly important for the Eagles offense. The Eagles will post their first official Week 14 injury report later Wednesday, when it will become known whether Smith was anything more than a limited practice participant.

Analysis

Smith mustered a pair of limited practices to end Week 13 prep, after which he told EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer that he was unsure if he'd be able to return to action Sunday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network then reported late Saturday that there wasn't much optimism regarding the wide receiver's potential to play this weekend, and Smith's status ultimately came down to a pregame workout, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. With his lack of availability now confirmed along with Johnny Wilson (hamstring), Smith will cede WR reps to the likes of Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith, Britain Covey and Parris Campbell behind top option A.J. Brown.

Analysis

Though Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported late Saturday that the Eagles didn't have much optimism that Smith would be ready to play Sunday, the receiver seems to be pushing to suit up in Week 13. The Eagles will wait and see how Smith feels coming out of the workout before providing official word on whether he'll play around 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, when the team be required to submit its inactive list.

Analysis

Smith ended the week with a pair of limited practices after sitting out entirely Wednesday, but he admitted Friday that he wasn't certain if he'd be able to play Sunday. The wideout missed last week's win over the Rams due to the hamstring issue, and Rapoport's report makes it seem more likely than not that Smith will be sidelined again for Week 13. While Rapoport adds that "there just isn't a ton of positivity" around Smith's status, he does state that Philadelphia is leaving that possibility open, so fantasy managers who roster the receiver would be wise to keep an eye out for the Eagles' inactive list, which should drop around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff.
