Smith recorded 11 receptions on 12 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers. 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.

Smith recorded 11 receptions on 12 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers. 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.
Smith caught four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers. 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.
Smith (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday. 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.
Smith (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice. 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 with tight end Dallas Goedert 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.
Smith (hamstring) is participating in practice Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. 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.
Smith (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Baltimore. 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.
Smith (hamstring) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens and is viewed as a game-time call, with a decision on his status likely to come down to the pregame workout, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. 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.
Smith (hamstring), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Baltimore, may go through a pregame workout Sunday to see if he can play, but "there is not a lot of optimism" that he'll be able suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. 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.
Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore. The designation comes as no surprise after Smith said earlier Friday that he wasn't sure if he'd play. He returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and was limited again Friday, after not practicing at all (nor playing) the previous week. Smith's availability may come down to a game-time decision ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.
