Devin Smith Fantasy Stats

Free-agent wide receiver Devin Smith is signing with the Carolina Panthers practice squad on Wednesday, according to a source. The former New York Jets second-rounder recently spent time with the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars, whom he played seven offensive snaps with in Week 1. Rookie first-rounder Terrace Marshall Jr. (concussion) is in danger of missing another game in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons, so there's a chance that Carolina calls Smith up to the active roster this weekend. However, the 29-year-old pass-catcher will just be serving as receiving depth for now in Carolina and will be a long shot to carve out any type of significant role in this offense.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith could be back in the starting lineup for a key Week 7 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Amari Cooper (quad) and Randall Cobb (back) both questionable at best for Sunday Night Football, Smith could play the biggest role he's played all season against an Eagles pass defense that barely exists. Smith, as usual, will be a boom-or-bust play in fantasy, but could be a solid DFS value if Cooper and Cobb are both out.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is no longer a fantasy option in most formats. With Michael Gallup back and playing well, Smith will be relegated to maybe one or two deep balls per game. That's a far too inconsistent role to trot a guy out in a standard lineup. Smith could still be worth something in best ball formats, but outside of those leagues, he should be on most waiver wires.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is not a starting option in almost any format for Week 5. The Cowboys will be fighting against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, and Smith's game simply doesn't match well with the Packers defensive game plan. Smith has been serving as Dak Prescott's deep threat, but with an excellent pass rush and a strong secondary coming up on the other side of the ball, it's not likely that the Cowboys will play the deep game well. Smith's fantasy value is hanging by a thread in standard leagues, he was always a better option in best ball formats.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith wasn't able to catch his only target in a Week 4 loss. Smith had a larger role last week and was expected to serve as the deep threat with Michael Gallup (knee) out, but the Cowboys couldn't get much of anything going against a strong Saints Defense. Smith's fantasy value is hanging by a thread and that thread will be cut as soon as Gallup returns.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is a low-floor, high-ceiling play in Week 4. The Cowboys travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in what should be a close game. With Michael Gallup (knee) out again, Smith should serve as the deep threat/seam stretcher and could come down with another long touchdown. Playing in a role similar to that of DeSean Jacksonin his Washington days, Smith is just as likely to have a huge fantasy day as he is to put up a total of zero points. He's better for DFS and best-ball formats than for weekly lineups because of that risk.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith caught two passes in Week 3, gaining 39 yards. Smith was expected to have an expanded role with Michael Gallup (knee) out, but with the Cowboys easily coasting against the Miami Dolphins, the passing game was mostly not needed. Smith should have a decent role next week, but will take a back seat as soon as Gallup returns.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith will potentially be working in a starting role in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Smith hauled in all three of his targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. With Michael Gallup (knee) out for this game and Randall Cobb likely sticking to the slot, Smith could jump into Gallup's role and make significant noise in fantasy leagues. He's a risky start, but could pay off in a big way, especially in DFS formats. Coach Jason Garrett has already said that Smith, "obviously will play more" in Week 3.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that wide receiver Devin Smith "will play more" with Michael Gallup (knee) being out two to four weeks. Smith will be in on three-receiver sets alongside Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb, beginning with a great matchup in Week 3 at home against the hapless Dolphins. The 27-year-old caught all three of his targets in Week 2 for 74 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown. He has sleeper appeal in DFS as a boom-or-bust deep threat until Gallup returns, and Week 3 against Miami might be his best chance to help fantasy owners.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith made some noise in Week 2, catching three passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. Smith's score was the first of the game for the Cowboys, coming on a 51-yard strike from quarterback Dak Prescott. He saw fewer targets than several other Cowboys pass catchers, but he showed his big play ability in this one. Smith won't be consistent enough to have starting value in standard leagues, but he could make some noise in DFS and best ball formats in any given week.
