![]() He has the chance to push for a roster spot if he can contribute on special teams in addition to showing some offensive potential. Can he regain his form from when he led the NFL in receiving during a four-week stretch and be a legitimate starting X receiver? Or is he just a backup? Watkins, still only 22, showed some promise late last year and could progress under a new coaching staff. Fulgham is a big X-factor at this position. He just lacks the juice as any kind of dynamic threat. Ward might be the starter in the slot, which isn’t the end of the world, but it’s not ideal. Smith’s addition might take some pressure off Reagor, who really needs to step up in his sophomore season. The Slim Reaper could very well terrorize defenses from Day 1. The Eagles need an immediate impact from Smith. WR: DeVonta Smith, Jalen Reagor, Greg Ward, Travis Fulgham, Quez Watkins, Trevon Grimes (6) Jordan Howard is left on the outside looking in. There’s a lot of competition for the backup running back spots but we’ll give the final nod to the recently acquired Johnson, whose pass protection skills have been lauded. Gainwell has the potential to be a valuable role player and might be used like the Colts used Nyheim Hines in Nick Sirianni’s offense. Scott might not be a lock, though he’s shown himself to be a capable rotational running back. ![]() Can he improve upon last year’s struggles in the passing game? There’s reason to believe he can since he showed promise as a rookie. We know the Eagles can count on Sanders as a home-run threat. RB: Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenny Gainwell, Kerryon Johnson (4) Newman might be able to stick on the practice squad but the Eagles might not want to risk losing their new developmental project. It will not be fun to watch Flacco if he has to play at any point. It’ll be interesting to see what he has in store for Year 2. If he’s anything less than convincing, the team could quickly look to pviot. QB: Jalen Hurts, Joe Flacco, Jamie Newman (3) Ģ021 marks an opportunity for Hurts to establish himself as the Eagles’ long-term starting quarterback. (For fun, you can click here to see what BGN’s projected 53 looked like at this time last year.) OFFENSE A projected practice squad is also included at the bottom of this post. Now it’s time for a prediction of who will actually make the final cut down to 53 players. We started with the offense, moved on to the defense, and then finished up with the special teams unit. We’ve spent the past few days projecting the Philadelphia Eagles’ depth chart for the 2021 NFL season.
