Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2023
Smith didn't have a major role as a rookie after being drafted 30th overall in 2023, but he stepped up in his second season to start 10 games. He finished second on the Eagles with 6.5 sacks (plus four more in the playoffs) and eighth on the team with 42 tackles. He tore his triceps during the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX win and underwent surgery, but he's recovered and lines up to be one of the team's top edge rushers again in 2025.

Smith suffered a strained triceps in a Week 3 win over the Rams and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Adam Schefter and Tim McManus of ESPN report.
