Philadelphia Eagles

Devonta Smith Expert Pick for Eagles vs. Commanders 9/13/26

Obviously without Jalen Hurts, this Eagles team is a completely different team. Tanner McKee hasn't been bad in his stead, but he hasn't been good. Devonta Smith and Saquon Barkley both seem to be trending in the wrong direction and with a divisional matchup on the schedule; it's next man up.

Barkley returned last week, despite not being 100% and left game with a back issue and potential hamstring issue. Smith missed last weeks game against the Cowboys and it looks like he's set to miss his 2nd straight game with his own hamstring injury.

The Eagles can't catch a break when it comes to injuries, but this week they do have the benefit of lining up against a really bad Commanders defense. Washington ranks 30th in points allowed, 32nd in opponent redzone efficiency and 28th in pass yards allowed.

McKee did make a start against this Commanders team in Week 18 last year, putting 241 yards through the air, 1 touchdown and 1 interception.

Potential Target(s)

Last week, with all the injuries, the Eagles were forced to find production in other places. Makai Lemon lead the team in target share, pulling in 7 of his 8 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown.

After Lemon, it was the vet Dallas Goedert getting after it. He caught 5 of his 6 targets for 48 yards but didn't get into the endzone.

One of the bigger surprises last week was the usage Marquise (Hollywood) Brown. He only caught 2 passes for 30 yards, but finished the game with 5 targets and a 21.2. yard average depth of target.

NFL Handicapping 101

After a week of speculation about who would be in the backfield for Arizona, it'll be both Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier. Both RBs have been listed as available for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Love hasn't played since Week 5 and this might be the perfect matchup to come back against. The Cowboys rank 31st in rush yards allowed this year, they're giving up the 8th highest yards per carry average to opposing RBs and they've given up 9 total touchdowns to the position.

The Cowboys are also giving up the 10th highest explosive run rate this year and before his injury we saw Love start to dominate touches in this backfield.

Through Weeks 1-5, Love was seeing 58% of the designated carries for the Cardinals, he lead the team in YPC, run success rate and missed tackles forced.

If you look at Love's last 3 games, he was on the field for 53% of the offensive snaps, his carry share jumped to 69% and he leads the backfield in target share.

You may know me as ‘VSaaauce’. I’ve been a die hard hoops fan my entire life. I’ve been betting on the NBA/NCAAB/NFL/MLB for six years now, each year gaining more and more knowledge about being a profitable handicapper. I’m eager to learn, and eager to pass on everything I’ve gained over the last few years. I started my Twitter page four years ago, and this community makes me so thankful I did. Outside of sports and handicapping, I enjoy traveling, hoopin, a strong espresso and I’m currently studying to obtain my MD. I’m all about the vibes, good vibes only.
