The Philadelphia Eagles are going to have another great offense this season with Nick Foles and Darren Sproles, Riley Cooper, Jeremy Maclin and Jordan Matthews are the best fantasy football picks for the Eagles in 2014 over names like Zach Ertz, Josh Huff and Arrelious Benn, as those players should get more targets and playing time, although everyone on the Eagles O deserves a look.
The Eagles had the most productive offense in the league last year apart from the Denver Broncos and now they have the chance to be even better. Nick Foles was excellent last season while passing for 2891 yards and 27 touchdowns and while DeSean Jackson is no longer with the team, he still has tons of targets to pick from and could end up with another big season. Jeremy Maclin is coming back from an injury and Darren Sproles was acquired in a trade and those two could be huge players this season for the team.
Jordan Matthews and Josh Huff seemingly fit into the offense perfectly and Ertz has been developing as a tight end and could be a solid sleeper this year. Riley Cooper had a strong season in 2013 for the best of his career and now that Jackson is gone, he is looking to do that once again and he could be even better than last season. Cooper had 47 catches last season for 835 yards and eight touchdowns and now he has the chance to put up even more as he tries to replace Jackson, while Maclin could be very good as long as he can stay healthy.
Maclin is coming back after missing all last season and that makes him a risk, but he also has the chance to be a very strong starter. Last year he was out for the season, but before that he had 69 catches for 857 yards and the season before that he had similar numbers and now he could be right there for the Eagles as a top player. Maclin had a great run for the past four years and he was mostly healthy and now he has the chance to come back and do it again.
Matthews is the biggest sleeper out there, as he put up some great numbers at Vandy and he did that despite everyone knowing he was going to get the ball. Last season he had 112 catches and finished his career as the school leader in catches and yards with 3,759 yards and he also added over 1,000 yards last season in college with 1477 yards and that came after another strong season in 2012.
Ertz was very solid last season with 36 catches and he should step up and get more this season while working TE with Brent Celek. Sproles is the top player to watch, as he is going to fit perfectly in Kelly's offense. Sproles has had at least 71 catches in each of the last three seasons and he should have plenty of chances in this system. Sproles is also a smart runner and while he may not get that many rushing attempts with LeSean McCoy there, he still should have some great numbers this season.
