Eagles' Ainias Smith: Hauls in TD in Saturday's loss
Ainias Smith caught both his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 22-13 preseason loss to the Browns.The 2024 fifth-round pick connected with rookie QB Kyle McCord for a nine-yard score late in the second quarter, the Philadelphia Eagles' final points of the afternoon. Smith is in a dogfight with Terrace Marshall and Darius Cooper for the final one or two spots on the wideout depth chart, but it's not a role likely to have much fantasy value in an offense where touches are dominated by Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith.

Ainias Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Rams.Smith will be a healthy scratch for the second playoff game in a row. The rookie wideout caught four passes for 35 yards and a touchdown when the team rested its primary starters Week 18, but he was a nonfactor on offense during his previous six appearances in the regular season.

Eagles' Ainias Smith: Snags first career TD
Ainias Smith caught four of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. He added four rushing yards on his only carry.The 2024 fifth-round pick saw a bigger role with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith getting rested ahead of the postseason, and the younger Smith took advantage by hauling in his first career TD to open the scoring on a 15-yard toss from Tanner McKee in the first quarter.
