DeVonta Smith holds a 41.5% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/28/2026
DeVonta Smith is a proven NFL WR with multiple top-24 caliber seasons and elite route-winning that translates week-to-week, which lowers bust risk versus any young player. In PHI’s high-efficiency offense, he can deliver spike weeks even as the 1B/2 to A.J. Brown, and his role is stable with strong QB play. At essentially the same market price as MHJ, you’re buying bankable production rather than projection.
Marvin Harrison Jr. offers true alpha WR1 upside—target-share ceiling and long-term insulation—that Smith is less likely to reach while sharing with A.J. Brown. He’s 3.7 years younger, which matters in dynasty liquidity and multi-year value retention even if year-one production is merely good, not elite. If he hits as a top-10 dynasty WR, the payoff dwarfs the small current price gap.
Smith for contenders—similar cost, higher immediate scoring certainty in a premium offense.
MHJ for rebuilders—age and realistic alpha ceiling give you better long-term value outs.
With only a 2.7% gap, treat them as tier-adjacent and let team direction (points vs ceiling+age) decide.
Worth more?
MHJ is worth more in dynasty process (age/ceiling), but Smith can be worth more to a 2026 points-only contender.
Trade?
If you can get MHJ for Smith straight up, take MHJ; if you can get Smith plus a meaningful add (2nd/young depth) for MHJ, take the Smith+ side if contending.
Superflex?
In SF the difference is mostly about roster build—contenders lean Smith for weekly points, rebuilders lean MHJ for value growth while QBs drive the market.
