6 things to know about new Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew – BGN Radio
I think for right now, Minshew’s best role is probably as a No. 2 quarterback — and he should be considered as one of the top backup quarterbacks in the league. With that said, he has proven plenty of times that he is capable of starting at the NFL level. Keep in mind, he didn’t have much talent around him to work with in Jacksonville, and in the right system, with the right personnel and coaches to work with, I would not rule out Minshew becoming a starter again one day. He is definitely going to earn respect from his coaches and teammates, and Meyer was certainly impressed by him…just not enough to beat out Lawrence.

I’m guessing Dillard and Ertz get traded, but that could take a few days. Teams want to make moves and see what else is out there. Dillard played well against the Jets and showed his raw ability. He hasn’t practiced well, but you could see how good his feet are in that game. He has legit talent, making his struggles all the more frustrating. There are a few teams with LT issues that should be interested in taking a chance on him. The Eagles won’t get good value, but with Mailata as the starter and Toth as a backup, they have OT flexibilty.

While Jalen Hurts has to develop as a passer, what makes him such an intriguing quarterback in fantasy football is his ability to run the ball. One player who should aid Hurts in improving through the air is rookie first-round pick, DeVonta Smith. The reigning Heisman winner is expected to leap to No. 1 wide receiver status on the Eagles in his first season. Smith’s ability to create separation is much better than the other wideouts on the roster, making him someone that Hurts is going to like immediately. For a cheap price of $4,500, you can stack Smith with Hurts against a below-average secondary of the Falcons. This may be one of the only weeks we get Smith for under $5,000 if he performs well in Week 1.
