QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jalen Hurts | 514.2 | 309.8 | 3676.5 | 22.37 | 13.37 | 119.7 | 628.4 | 5.09 | 303.18 |
| Joe Flacco | 50.9 | 31.8 | 333.4 | 1.96 | 1.22 | 4.8 | 11 | 0.11 | 20.5 |
Jalen Hurts: With three (most likely) first-round picks next year, the Eagles have positioned themselves to potentially draft a quarterback early in the 2022 NFL Draft. In addition, ESPN's Adam Schefter recently said to "watch Philadelphia" when it comes to a potential Deshaun Watson trade.
That said, Hurts should easily hold off Joe Flacco in 2021, which puts him squarely in the top-10 mix in fantasy football (barring a Watson trade). After the Eagles benched Carson Wentz, Hurts scored more than 17 fantasy points in all four of his starts and averaged 23.74 per game over that stretch. While he threw for 300-plus yards in two of his four starts, his rushing stats (46/272/3) over that span put him on a Lamar Jackson-esque full-season pace of 184/1,088/12 rushing.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miles Sanders | 239.5 | 1065.8 | 6.23 | 43 | 370.9 | 2.1 | 215.15 |
| Kerryon Johnson | 67.1 | 281.8 | 1.61 | 14.5 | 120.3 | 0.6 | 60.72 |
| Boston Scott | 23.9 | 102.8 | 0.6 | 12.8 | 100.2 | 0.4 | 32.7 |
| Kenneth Gainwell | 18 | 76.5 | 0.38 | 13.3 | 110.3 | 0.5 | 30.61 |
Miles Sanders: Falling short of preseason expectations, Sanders missed four games and averaged just 3.1 yards per target after his catch rate dropped from 79.4% as a rookie to 53.8% in 2020. Although he averaged an impressive 5.3 yards per carry for the season, Sanders failed to exceed 3.8 YPC in four of his final five games. While roster cuts will make the running back room less crowded, comments by running backs coach Jamel Singleton suggest that Sanders may not be featured as heavily as he was last year even though he's the clear RB1.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeVonta Smith | 58.1 | 842.1 | 5 | 3.6 | 19.4 | 0.07 | 145.62 |
| Jalen Reagor | 46.1 | 675.7 | 4.1 | 2.4 | 0 | 0 | 115.22 |
| Greg Ward Jr. | 24.8 | 290.7 | 2.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 54.67 |
| Travis Fulgham | 12.8 | 170.4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 29.44 |
| Quez Watkins | 6 | 80.2 | 0.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14.62 |
| J.J. Arcega-Whiteside | 3.4 | 48.1 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8.91 |
| John Hightower | 1.7 | 28.1 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4.86 |
DeVonta Smith: One year after selecting Jalen Reagor in the first round, the Eagles traded up for the Heisman Trophy winner. The only thing to dislike about Smith is his slight frame, but he was uber-productive as he set Alabama school receiving records -- receptions (235), yards (3,965) and touchdowns (46).
Jalen Reagor: Selected one pick before Justin Jefferson (88/1,400/7) in the 2020 NFL Draft, Reagor's disappointing 2020 campaign (31/391/1) becomes even more pronounced. Durability (five missed games) and sub-par quarterback play didn't help, but Reagor's breakout potential makes him a high-upside late-round pick.
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dallas Goedert | 52.9 | 611.5 | 3.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 109.2 |
| Zach Ertz | 41 | 441.1 | 2.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 80.81 |
| Richard Rodgers | 11.1 | 120.3 | 0.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 21.78 |
Dallas Goedert: Goedert missed five games including Week 17 last season, but he was a consistent producer following the team's Week 9 bye through Week 16. Over that stretch, Goedert scored the sixth-most fantasy points among tight ends and ranked top five in both receptions (32) and yards (371). Earlier this offseason, expectations were that the Eagles would part ways with Zach Ertz, but that no longer appears to be the case.
Zach Ertz: Missing five games last season, Ertz didn't score a touchdown after Week 1 and averaged a career-low 9.3 yards per reception. Meanwhile, his 30.5 YPG were his lowest since his rookie season (2013, 29.3). With the Eagles unlikely to find a trade partner, Ertz is likely to be on the Week 1 roster, but he enters 2021 as the team's TE2 behind Dallas Goedert.
