Looks good in expanded role
Smith recorded eight tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
When Brandon Graham was sent to injured reserve with a triceps injury he suffered in Week 12, it was expected that Smith would see an increase in playing time. Sure enough, he played a season-high 57 defensive snaps in Week 13, and he came away with a season-high tackle total to show for it. He appears to be penciled in for a near-every down role for Week 14 versus the Panthers.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Smith looked like a potential top-10 pick in the 2023 Draft but fell all the way to pick No. 30, where the Eagles snapped him up to join their group of young Georgia defenders. His 4.39 speed is his calling card, but it does come with small size, as he checks in at 6-2, 238 pounds. Smith didn't post elite sack numbers in college, topping out at 4.5 as a junior, and his unique profile makes him hard to project. That said, he has the makings of an NFL edge rusher and will have a great example to learn from in teammate Haason Reddick.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could make notable impact as rookie
Smith is identified by Brendan Walker of NFL.com as a rookie that will have both short- and long-term impact in the Eagles defense.
ANALYSIS
Smith was nabbed by the Eagles with the 30th overall pick in April's draft after a standout career at Georgia that included 20 tackles for loss, 12.5 of which counted as sacks, across 38 games. The athletic edge rusher is likely to start his pro career behind accomplished veteran Haason Reddick, but Walker envisions Smith getting a fair share of opportunities to show off his pass-rushing acumen as a rookie before potentially moving into a starting role in his second season.
