Jason Avant-WR-Philadelphia Eagles

Avant has become a bigger part of the Egales offense as the season progresses and the EAgles will need to score plenty of points this week as they visit the Mile High City to face Peyton Manning and the dynamic Broncos offense.

Avant finished last week with  a season-high 87 yards and his first score of the season against the Chiefs on Thursday Night. He was targeted eight times in that game after getting seven passes thrown his way in week 2. The Eagles offense needs as many weapons as possible and a second option in the passing game besides DeSean Jackson. Avant seems to be growing into that role getting more targets every week.

The Eagles defense has shown it will give up plenty of points, so Michael Vick and Phily’s offense will need to answer. Avant is a big part of their plans as a possession receiver making him even more valuable in PPR leagues.
