DeVonta Smith vs. Tampa Bay Bucs

The Philadelphia Eagles are limping into the playoffs and have a number of injuries across the entire roster. Jalen Hurts is dealing with a finger injury from last week against the Giants but after being limited on Thursday, he seems to have a good chance to play on Monday night against the Bucs.

If Hurts is on the field, he may be without one of his top targets though as A.J. Brown is dealing with a knee injury that he suffered last week as well against the Giants. He did not practice on Thursday and if he doesn't play, it could be a big game for DeVonta Smith. The former first round pick missed Week 18 but was a full participant on Thursday.

The Bucs have allowed the fourth most passing yards per game along with 23 passing touchdowns. If Brown is not on the field, Smith should see a significant uptick in targets in this game and be in line for a big game.
