1. The Philadelphia Eagles

Yup, you called it; after years of fielding a sub-par wide receiving corps, the Philadelphia Eagles can now boast having the best in the entire NFC East.

Now granted, had the Dallas Cowboys held onto Amari Cooper and/or Cedrick Wilson Jr., this list might look a little bit different, but because the duo are now employed elsewhere, and Jerry Jones and company were only able to replace them with third-round pick Jalen Tolbert, the Eagles earn a slight edge over their foes in Texas.

Top Receiver – A.J. Brown

I know DeVonta Smith hype is alive and well in the City of Brotherly Love today – and for good reason – but it’s hard to imagine a scenario where he has more impact on the field than A.J. Brown, even if he ultimately earns more yards and/or catches this fall based on the attention he will draw from opposing defenses alone.

If Brown can win consistently against the press, something he did in Tennessee, and Nick Sirianni remains open to unconventional ways to deploy the former second-round pick out of Mississippi, his offensive production could be incredible. Throw him some screen passes, run him on a few jet sweeps, heck, even line him up in the offensive backfield like Deebo Samuel or D.J. Moore; whatever Sirianni calls *spoiler alert* it’s going to be pretty good.
