Philadelphia Eagles receiver?

Question

Which of the remaining Eagles third receiver's do you think will shine this season in Kevin Curtis's absence, and why?

Hank Baskett, Jason Avant, Greg Lewis?

Answer 1

I believe that the combination of Brown, Baskett, and Jackson will be the best 3 WR set the Eagles will have this season without Curtis.

However, all three of them could have big seasons for te Eagles. As long as Donovan stays healthy the offense will click and they will rise back up to the top of the NFC.

Answer 2

None of them.

You would think Baskett would be good because of his sdize, but he isnt. Lewis is below average and Avant is okay, has good hands.

Donovan will throw the ball to Jackson maily against the Rams,

Answer 3

Really I think Deshawn will be great and Westbrook will be a beast but none and you have to remember than Kevin was there for one game and then hed be gone for the next 4 he was risky to begain with you no.

Answer 4

They will be alternated so I'm not sure if just one will shine. If I had to choose one I would have to say Baskett. They are planning on using him in the Redzone a lot this season. But with LJ Smith healthy I see a lot of spreading the ball around.  

Answer 5

Depends upon your definition of "shine."

Curtis is hurt, and Brown is dinged up as well. I'm sure each of the remaining receivers will see plenty of action on the field until they return. Of the 3 you mentioned, I think Baskett will benefit the most. He won't have the huge yardage numbers, but I can see him being utilized down near the goalline (where the Eagles struggled last year) because of his size and leaping.

I'd wager that Greg Lewis gets the most yards, Avant gets the most 3rd down conversions (tough catches over the middle), and Baskett gets the most TD's.... true to Eagles strategy, no receiver will really "shine" but each will play a very important role.

I'd also look for LJ Smith to have a huge year - the Eagles sorely missed him last year (much more than people realize), and he gets a lot of those first downs around midfield. If you're looking for a late fantasy TE, there you go.
