Smith, Heisman winner and Alabama teammate of Jones, is cited as a key piece of the Alabama-to-NFL pipeline that shaped Jones’s draft stock and the overall quarterback dynamics of the era. His route-running and big-play ability anchor a narrative about how college ties echo into pro-level decisions.

Smith faces a Chiefs defense that allowed a league-high WR fantasy points last week; with Goedert possibly out, he should see more targets in Week 2.

Smith is a frequent Week 2 start/sit subject with a high floor in an offense that spreads targets; matchup-driven upside remains, anchored by Hurts’ passing volume.

Smith anchors the Eagles’ aerial attack, delivering big‐play potential and a high target floor. His chemistry with Hurts sustains Philadelphia’s fantasy ceiling, even as the offense evolves post‐title. In the rematch against Kansas City, his ability to create separation in clutch moments keeps him a trusted weekly option.

Smith provides a critical target share for Philadelphia, benefiting when Barkley is bottled up and the passing game is needed. His chemistry with Hurts and Brown’s attention help secure consistent fantasy value even if Barkley’s carries dwindle.
