Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews celebrates a touchdown during a 2014 home game."

Sam Bradford (Quarterback): Bradford will have to overcome some long odds to have significant fantasy value in standard leagues. Bradford has had 2 ACL surgeries and very few players make it through a full season after dealing with something like that. He could potentially be a sleeper but one should prefer caution instead of the risk Bradford brings with him.

Jordan Matthews (Wide Receiver): Matthews had a productive season last year and should continue to trend upward as we begin the 2015 NFL regular season. Matthews has a lot of upside especially if Bradford stays healthy. Matthews has taken the DeSean Jackson role so there will be a lot of deep balls thrown his way.

Josh Huff (Wide Receiver): Huff does not lack confidence however he may not end up being the third target in this offense. Huff does not have standalone fantasy value in standard leagues but can find some in deeper leagues.

Nelson Agholor (Wide Receiver): Agholor was the Eagles first round pick and is expected to make a big impact now that Jeremy Maclin is gone. Agholor is a speedy, big bodied, wide receiver who can create space whenever he needs to. The only problem with Agholor is that he is a rookie, and his knowledge of this Chip Kelly offense is spotty at best. He will be an inconsistent WR2.

DeMarco Murray (Running Back):  Murray is coming off one of his best years a running back could ask for. Now he is coming off of 370 carries, entering a new offense, and is splitting time with 2 talented running backs. Murray cannot replicate last year's success it is that simple and his ADP in the second round is a joke.

Ryan Mathews (Running Back): Mathews will be the guy vulturing most of Murray's touchdowns and this will keep the fantasy value of the Eagles running game pretty inconsistent. Mathews will likely stay healthy losing his lead back role which in turn could lead to him getting a lot less dinged up throughout the season.

Darren Sproles (Running back): Sproles is the passing down running back who will catch the ball out of the backfield. He will get some modest work but will struggle being a consistent flex option.
