Burning Question: Which receiver will step up to be Carson Wentz’ favorite target?
Bottom Line: The Eagles have been a very consistent team since Doug Peterson arrived. They are consistently injured, and they consistently overcome those injuries. It says a lot about the coaching staff and the personnel department. The Eagles can seemingly overcome many different obstacles thrown their way.
Zach Ertz has been the most dependable target for Carson Wentz. Ertz has stayed healthy for the most part and garners 100+ targets every year. If the Eagles can get contributions from other players such as Jalen Reagor and Alshon Jeffery, the offense can be a highly productive unit.
The defense has taken a nice step up with the additions of Darius Slay and Javon Hargrave. Philadelphia has a valid argument in saying they host the best defensive line in the league. I believe the Eagles are a playoff team once again, mainly due to being great in the trenches and having a great quarterback in Carson Wentz.
Predicted Win Range: 8-10
