Fantasy fallout: DeVonta Smith, Brandon Aiyuk on the rise

Nobody has a more stacked lineup of fantasy analysts and NFL team reporters than ESPN. It's the rare "backfield by committee" that is actually a good thing for fantasy football managers.

Every Tuesday, Mike Triplett will ask our NFL Nation reporters a series of burning questions about the weekend's biggest stories to help inform you for your waiver-wire pickups and roster decisions.

This week, we kick things off with a closer look at some suddenly surging wide receivers, including a Philadelphia rookie who had a breakout game and a second-year sleeper in San Francisco.

It's time to begin our weekly trip around the league, so fasten your seat belts and get ready to tour the NFL Nation!


Philadelphia Eagles

Is DeVonta Smith's breakout game a good sign for his value going forward or should we be concerned that opportunities will be an issue since Philadelphia has become so extremely run-heavy?

I'm bullish on Smith and believe he'll only get better as he gains experience and continues to build chemistry with Jalen Hurts. He'll be the primary target in the passing game most weeks.
