1. Josh Doctson

To say Josh Doctson‘s first NFL season turned out to be a rough one would be a huge understatement since an Achilles injury in September limited the wideout to appearing in just two games for the Redskins.

Even after Doctson seemed to bounce back in a strong way by making progress the following two seasons, Washington still decided to release him prior to the start of the 2019 season.

Shortly after the release, Doctson would end up joining the Minnesota Vikings, but unfortunately the injury problems would continue, and he would end up appearing in just one game with zero catches before he was released again.

Doctson staying healthy could easily be viewed as a concern for the Eagles since this would only add to the current issues the team has been dealing with in the wide receiver department.

But also, Doctson is former first-round pick for a reason, and if he were able to stay healthy enough to play these final three games for Philadelphia if the opportunity were to present itself, the Eagles would be in better shape to win the division title.

A player like Doctson may not seem like that much of a difference maker, but maybe a fresh start on a team like Philadelphia is just what the wideout needs to help get his career back on track.
