Eagles name DeVonta Smith top receiver but leave No. 2 spot open — Sep 6, 2026The Eagles expect DeVonta Smith to be the primary receiver with a developing rotation around him that includes young playmakers like Wicks and Lemon, while Makai Lemon’s rookie status and hamstring recovery add urgency for immediate contributions. Off the line and depth pieces, including Kendall and Lampkin, are proving more reliable—bolstering interior O-line upside—and the team faces typical 2026 scrutiny with a need for several receivers to step up alongside a high-performing rushing duo.

Rachel Meyers As long as Smith stays healthy the offense should be fine, but that No. 2 spot is a real question mark heading into the season.
