6. Parris Campbell, wide receiver

One of the roster questions for the Philadelphia Eagles right now is at wide receiver, believe it or not.

The receiver group in Philadelphia is obviously led by two of the best in the league -- AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. The Eagles don't have to worry about those two guys, but this team is unfortunately one injury away from absolute disaster at receiver.

Parris Campbell is an intriguing potential third option, but only in that capacity. The Eagles would not be in a great spot if Campbell had to play extensive starting snaps or take on a bunch of targets because one of Brown or Smith missed time.

Campbell is currently battling for reps with former first-round pick John Ross, the speedy receiver whose career has never really taken off because of injuries.

The Eagles seem content to just let the competition play out at this position. They've got Campbell out there as an option, John Ross factoring in, and rookies Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson. But it's entirely possible as we sit here one week into training camp that the Eagles don't have their third-best wide receiver even on the roster yet.
