I attended Eagles camp recently and here are the things I noticed.

The offense looked somewhat out of sync, not atypical for this point in camp but a revolving door of new WRs should boost more familiar targets like Ertz and Sproles target share early on. It may also lead to a greater emphasis on running the ball, but short passes are just another hand off in this scheme.

Carson Wentz is as physically skilled as any QB in the league. He has a big arm and can put plenty of zip on the ball. When he wants it he can also throw with touch, arcing rainbows. His speed was on display during a bootleg when he gained the edge with relative ease, infuriating the outstretching Brandon Graham who’d read the boot (there were plenty of bootlegs practiced). What remains to be seen is consistent decision making under fire. It’d help if the receivers catch the balls thrown to them this year.

Torrey Smith is quickly developing a repoire with Wentz, while Alshon Jeffrey sits out. Wentz looked Smith’s way a bunch in team drills. The veteran receiver is somehow only 28 and still has plus speed. Keep an eye on him early in the season or as a late best ball play.

Trey Burton is an incredible athlete. He runs and moves like a receiver. During the team portion he made a catch off of a deflected ball way behind him on a seam route. Pederson’s offense involves multiple TEs which could carry into a breakout for the tweener Burton if he shows he deserves targets.

Mack Hollins is aptly named, dude is built. Watch his TD against the Packers and you’ll see he uses that size in combination with 4.53 speed. The Birds have plenty of field stretchers so he could make a living catching passes underneath in the early going. Dynasty leagues should especially take note since any of the guys ahead of him on the depth chart may not be an Eagle next year.

Donnel Pumphrey could offer some deep league interest if he turns into an explosive return man. He’s getting a look there and there’s opportunity.

Newcomer Ronald Darby was getting coached up all day. There’s a good amount of catch up the staff needs him to do if he’s going to start week 1. He’s a stout corner with good explosion and nice hips. It helps having a pro as smart as Malcolm Jenkins on the back end helping him through some growing pains. I’m also curious to see what Chris Long has left in the tank. (On a side note, my impression of Long is that he’s a genuinely good dude.) The defense has talent, but projects as a hit or miss fantasy asset. At their current price that’s a fine upside play.

Look for confirmation in tomorrow’s game against the Bills and get a jump on the rest of your league on a few guys that just started garnering buzz.
