Surprise Standout: DeVonta Smith Leads Eagles' Receiving Corps in 2025
17 Nov, 2025
Summary
- DeVonta Smith is the Eagles' leading receiver in 2025
- Smith has 657 receiving yards, 250 more than the team's No. 1 WR A.J. Brown
- Smith gets off to a slow start in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions
As the 2025 NFL season reaches Week 11, one of the more surprising developments for the Philadelphia Eagles has been the emergence of wide receiver DeVonta Smith as the team's leading receiver. Entering the current week, Smith has amassed 657 receiving yards, which is nearly 250 yards more than the team's supposed No. 1 wide receiver, A.J. Brown.
Despite Smith's impressive performance so far this season, he has gotten off to a slow start in the Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions. On the Eagles' first drive, Smith was targeted but was unable to reel in the pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Eagles' offense as a whole struggled on the opening drive, with Hurts completing just one of four pass attempts.
However, based on Smith's consistent production throughout the 2025 campaign, it is only a matter of time before he gets going and makes an impact in the game against the Lions. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching to see if the young wide receiver can continue his breakout season and lead the Eagles to victory.
