Eagles WR depth chart: Jalen Hurts likely to be without top target DeVonta Smith vs. Rams

The Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver depth chart appears to have a significant gap with their top target, DeVonta Smith, potentially unavailable for their upcoming matchup against the Rams. ESPN's Tim McManus reports that Smith is questionable for Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, which has sidelined him for two straight weeks.

As a result, the Eagles will be relying on unproven depth options, starting with former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks. Wicks has impressed this season, recording nine catches for 179 yards and a touchdown in his first four games. Other potential playmakers include rookie Makai Lemon, who has yet to make a significant impact, and veteran Hollywood Brown, who is also listed as questionable.

The Eagles' offense has faced challenges with Saquon Barkley's touchdown drought and Dallas Goedert's knee injury, making the depth of their passing game even more apparent.
