DeVonta Smith vs Jordyn Tyson
DeVonta Smith holds a 15.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/22/2026
THE CASE FOR SMITH
DeVonta Smith is a proven NFL WR2 with WR1 spike weeks tied to an elite passing environment in Philly, which is exactly what contenders should pay for. His weekly floor is supported by route-winning and target-earning skill, not gadget usage, and he’s already demonstrated he can command volume when injuries hit. At 27.7, the window is narrower than a 22-year-old, but you’re buying bankable points rather than projection.
THE CASE FOR TYSON
Jordyn Tyson’s value is almost entirely future-based: younger age, unknown ceiling, and the possibility of earning into a meaningful role in New Orleans. If he hits, his dynasty value can jump faster than Smith’s because the market prices in growth and career runway. The risk is obvious—he could also be a multi-year depth piece with low target share, and in that outcome the current near-even price is a trap.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
DeVonta Smith—take the locked-in weekly startability and let someone else assume the development risk at a similar cost.
Jordyn Tyson—at near-parity pricing, swing for the age-adjusted value appreciation even if the hit rate is lower.
With only a 0.3% gap, use roster construction as the tiebreaker: points now (Smith) vs. optionality and runway (Tyson).
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
In a vacuum I value Smith slightly higher for contenders and Tyson slightly higher for rebuilders because the current market has them essentially even.
Trade?
If you have Tyson, I’d try to add a small sweetener (late 2nd/early 3rd type) to get Smith for a title push; if you have Smith and are retooling, I’d swap to Tyson plus an added pick.
Superflex?
Superflex doesn’t materially change a WR-vs-WR decision, but it does make the “added pick” portion more valuable since those picks can be routed into QB liquidity.
