Josh Huff-Philadelphia Eagles

If Dwayne Bowe is too broken-down for your taste, get a flashy new option and go with play-maker Josh Huff who could emerge as a key piece in Chip Kelly’s vaunted offensive system in his second year out of Oregon.

According to all the reports out of Eagles’ camp this offseason, Huff has taken huge strides and improved significantly over last year’s meager eight-catch, 98-yard production.  With the departure of Jeremy Maclin, there will be chances for young WR Huff along with rookie Nelson Agholor to make contributions.  While Agholor is going in the middle of most drafts, Huff is falling to the end where he makes a solid sleeper as a fantasy football WR pick.

Huff should at least be a top-3 receiver in the Eagles offense this season, and he could be more more if he can turn in a strong preseason. It will be key to watch week 3 of the preseason to see how much run Huff gets with Kelly’s top offensive unit, but if he earns time in the high-flying Eagles offense Huff makes a great finish to your draft.
