DeVonta Smith

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) said he will play in Week 14 against the Panthers.

Smith specifically said “count me in” when asked if he was playing. He told reporters he was pushing to play last week but the team had to shut him down. Smith has been practicing in full throughout the week, so his status for Sunday’s game was never in doubt. Philly’s No. 2 receiver missed two games with the hamstring issue, but the fact that he nearly played last week should prevent fantasy managers from getting cold feet with him for Week 14. Smith is back in the WR2 ranks for a potentially explosive matchup with a soft Panthers defense.
