Is DeVonta Smith playing today? Why Eagles WR is off to slow start in Week 17 image

Despite plenty of struggles with the Philadelphia Eagles' passing offense, wide receiver DeVonta Smith is still having one of his best seasons.

Entering Week 17, Smith has tallied 72 receptions for 931 yards and four touchdowns. His receptions and yardage output are both the third-best marks of his career.

While that's all well and good, Smith is off to a slow start in the Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is DeVonta Smith playing today?

Yes, Smith is active and healthy, he just hasn't gotten going yet.

Smith also didn't have much of a chance to do anything on the Eagles' opening drive, as Philly went three-and-out before punting it away.

It might be tough sledding for Smith on Sunday, as the weather is bad with plenty of rain and the Bills sports one of the league's elite pass defenses.
