Brown with 41 receptions for 516 yards and 4 touchdowns, he\u2019s had a noticeable dip in production the last 2 games with just 6 receptions for 43 yards and no touchdowns on 9 targets.<\/p>\n<p>Smith is in his fourth season with the Eagles after they selected him No. 10 overall in the 2021 NFL draft. Smith left the University of Alabama as one of the greatest wide receivers in college football history, winning a pair of College Football Playoff national championships and becoming the first wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy since Michigan\u2019s Desmond Howard in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>With the Eagles, Smith has been nothing short of dynamic, and is on pace for his third consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards\u00a0in 2024. After putting up 81 receptions for 1,066 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2023, the Eagles rewarded Smith with a 3-year, $75 million contract extension in April 2024.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also been incredibly durable despite his 6-foot, 170-pound frame, and Sunday\u2019s game will be only the third he\u2019s missed in 4 seasons.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Eagles Should Turn to Rookie WR to Step Up<\/h2>\n<p>The Eagles have been lacking a reliable third option at wide receiver all season, where they\u2019ve tried to shoehorn\u00a0former first round pick Jahan Dotson in alongside Brown and Smith after they traded a 2025 third round pick and two 2025 seventh round picks to the Washington Commanders in exchange for Dotson in August 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Because Dotson only has 9 receptions for 106 yards and no touchdowns through 10 games \u2014 below even his middling pace for 2022 and 2023 \u2014 it might be a good idea for the Eagles to get some targets for 6-foot-7 rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles took\u00a0Wilson in the sixth round (No. 185 overall) of the 2024 NFL draft after spent the first 2 seasons of his college career at Arizona State before transferring to Florida State, where he was a 2-time All-ACC pick in 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson had 84 receptions for 1,514 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns in his final 2 collegiate seasons, and did so while missing 3 games due to injury in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In 10 games, Wilson only has 2 receptions for 14 yards and 1 touchdown on 7 targets.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Adame covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders and Denver Broncos.
