Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receivers: Where/When Will They Play?

He'll get in situationally and shows that we have great depth, but I don't see him beating out Maclin, Curtis, or Jackson, and Avant was a model of consistency last year, the antithesis to Brown's career so far.  I expect Brown to be trade bait.

I also expect plenty of packages to see either double tight ends or double halfbacks.  Expect Brent Celek to be used as a reliable security blanket (similar to the way Chad Lewis was used).  He should get 50 catches this year. 

Cornelius Ingram will be used in some formations, and he has the speed and size to create dangerous mismatches, but I think 2010 is when he'll really make a big impact. Still, I expect him to get a couple of touchdown catches.  He's just too much of a physical beast to keep off the field. 

McNabb likes going to tight ends (Chad Lewis was the Eagles' leading receiver a few times), and I think Celek's reliability and Ingram's explosiveness will lead to solid production from the position.

The Eagles have three running backs who can catch passes.  Lesean McCoy and Brian Westbrook possess similar traits: great hands, quickness, and home run ability on any given play.  I also expect Leonard Weaver to get in on the action. 

He was a tight end coming out of college, and has pretty good athleticism and hands for a fullback.  He can be a reliable, sneaky target on passing plays.  Washington has used Mike Sellers like this at times, and I think Weaver is more athletically gifted than Sellers. 

The Eagles have plenty of options in the passing game.  They have deep threats, underneath guys, and some bigger targets.  I expect Donovan McNabb to have a great year.  My initial projection would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 yards, 25+ touchdowns, and less than 15 interceptions.
