FANTASY OUTLOOK
Top 5 Rostered in ESPN Fantasy
#1
Miles Sanders (RB)
98.5%

Sanders enters his 3rd season as the clear cut No. 1 RB on this Eagles offense. Although he has dealt with a couple injuries in his first 2 seasons, Sanders has been consistently productive while on the field and has high fantasy upside. If Sanders is on your team, definitely start him at the RB2 or Flex slot.
#2
Dallas Goedert (TE)
90.1%

Injuries kept Goedert on the sidelines for 5 games last year but was still able to put up some good fantasy weeks while on the field. Expect much higher output for Goedert in 2021. He will no longer be splitting the TE role with Zach Ertz and will be getting a lot of attention in the red zone. Goedert should be a fantasy starter at this time.
#3
DeVonta Smith (WR)
89.5%

The 2020 Heisman trophy winner out of Alabama comes to Philadelphia as a strong fantasy asset from the get-go. Although he doesn’t have the traditional WR1 size, he has the quickness and athleticism to be electric in Philly this season. Definitely try to make a move for Devonta Smith and consider him as a potential flex option for your team.
#4
Jalen Hurts (QB)
89.3%

Hurts took over as starter in Philly at the tail end of the 2020 season and put up some impressive fantasy numbers. He is a dual threat QB so you will get a steady combo of passing and rushing stats but he hasn’t been the most efficient in his passing game. It has been just a small sample size so we will see. Right now, I would consider him a starter but also look at another QB to add to your bench in case it doesn’t work out.
#5
Jalen Reagor (WR)
60.5%

Sleeper Candidate
2020 was not a magical rookie season for Jalen Reagor. Injuries and poor offensive play kept Reagor from really bringing anything worthwhile to the fantasy table. Expect that to change this season. With Hurts at QB and Smith on the opposite end, the Eagles offense will open up in 2021 and will tend to throw a lot in late games. Keep Reagor on your bench for now but keep your eyes out for this Eagle to fly in Philly this year.
