The Eagles traded away Nick Foles and LeSean McCoy, the two biggest moves in a whirlwind offseason for Chip Kelly's team. But the other key one is not a trade but the wide receiver they let go, and the one who stands to be the biggest beneficiary.
Philadelphia probably wanted to retain Jeremy Maclin, but Kansas City blew him away with a huge offer. Now Jordan Matthews should be the new No. 1, and there will be lots of fantasy upside there.
Maclin had a big year as the No. 1 a year ago, DeSean Jackson the year before. Matthews mostly played in the slot last season, leading some to speculate that Josh Huff, another second-year player, will be a breakout receiver. The Eagles also signed Miles Austin, so maybe he'll put up good numbers (if he stays healthy).
But as the linked article makes clear, Matthews thinks he'll play outside a lot more often, and given the other options, it makes a lot of sense. Neither Austin, Huff, nor Riley Cooper is as talented as Matthews.
Season's a long way off, but he should be a primary target in the offense and a guy to have a lot of interest in this summer.
