5 Philadelphia Eagles players to draft in fantasy football

Carson Wentz

Wentz had himself a terrific rookie campaign and it’s pretty safe to assume he’ll be able to expand on that in 2017. Gone are Jordan Matthews and Nelson Agholor as the team’s two starting receivers. Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith are taking over as the starters at wideout while Matthews mans the slot and Agholor competes for playing time with rookie Mack Hollins.

With the improved supporting cast, Wentz seems ready to make a significant leap as a second-year player. Given his ability to scramble, Wentz is a threat for yards both through the air and on the ground, which will certainly come in handy for owners looking for a dual-threat quarterback.

We predicted that Wentz will break the Eagles’ single-season passing record this year. If that prediction comes true, you’ll wish you picked him for your fantasy team.
