Brad Smith is listed as the Eagles third wide receiver on their depth chart.

Fantasy Impact:

All camp long we've been hearing about rookie Jordan Matthews shining at practice, but Smith has quietly had a good camp too, according to those who cover the team. The team is likely just respecting an NFL veteran, however, it's even more likely both Smith and Matthews contribute this year as Chip Kelly will use a lot of his WRs in various packages. It's best to take a wait-and-see approach with the Eagles WR3 situation.

Eagles rookie WR Josh Huff looks like a running back because he not only has the build to play the position at 5-foot-11 inches, 211 pounds, but he actually lined up in the backfield in high school, as well as under center.

It's that experience that has made Huff's transition not only to the NFL but to wide receiver one that he believes he's equipped to play at a high level at in the Pros.

Fantasy Impact:

With Jordan Matthews, the fellow rookie WR, standing out almost every day at camp, Huff is battling for a WR4 role on the Eagles. The article pointed out that Huff really doesn't have an advantage coming from Oregon and playing for HC Chip Kelly because there are already so many different wrinkles in Kelly's game plans.

Eagles rookie WR Jordan Matthews simply continues to make catch after catch after catch after catch after catch... (Yawn)... after catch after catch after... sorry, but that's just what is happening out here every day.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles likely won't have one stand-out receiver like DeSean Jackson was a year ago, but Matthews sure seems like he's going to be a contributor in his first year. Right now, it looks like the Birds vision him in the slot, so his time may be limited depending on formation.

Eagles QB Nick Foles has attempted more back shoulder throws in practice this week than he did all of last season, even with lengthy wideout Riley Cooper out with a foot injury. HC Chip Kelly likes to talk about “tools in the toolbox,” and the Eagles have the personnel this year -- Cooper, Jeremy Maclin, Jordan Matthews -- to make the back shoulder throw more prominent in their offense.

They’ve become trendy tosses for quarterbacks in a league where wideouts now resemble outside linebackers, and they’re effective because receivers don’t have to create separation with speed to make the play.

All it takes is the proper adjustment to an intentionally underthrown pass.

“It's part of the game,” offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said. “I think they can be very effective if they're thrown with the right timing and at the right spot. So it's just one of the things guys work on. We try to take advantage of every opportunity to get the ball down the field, and that is just another way to do it.”
