Mack Hollins is the Eagles equivalent of Matt Slater. I don't think he will develop into a starter let alone a fantasy asset.
His main value is special teams. You're right he might never become the perennial Pro Bowl special teamer that Slater was, but he is really good in that role.Pretty sure this comparison is way off base, which brings into question the rest.

I would argue the opposite. That I have too much information on Hollins to the point of I've already decided what he is when it's only his 13th month. I think there is a undercurrent of "Hollins hasn't developed" in the Philly media. Feel free to ignore and just follow his physical traits or the fact he is on some national sleeper list.But to compare him to a guy whose 10 year career as a WR was surpassed by Hollins in his rookie year by 15 receptions is a really poor analogy with the vast bulk of Hollins’s career still ahead of him. It also shows you haven’t done very little homework on Hollins.

I follow UNC and Eagles football, so yes. But enjoy your evening.Oh I will, but not for the reasons you’re assuming. Too much information .. thanks for the chuckle.

These articles don't have any information on his performance at camp. Here's some more info if it helpsI guess these guys haven’t signed up for your newsletter(just a sampling of other similar articles) But thanks and enjoy your too.
His college career was not too much different from what he showed last year. Great deep threat, seldom used in other areas. He was drafted where he was because he is a + STer. Any more is bonus, from a NFL draft perspective.Personally, I think both you guys are right in your analysis ST's player who just doesn't quit who earns playing time Question being as to whether he can learn (Coach'd up) and mature as a player Believe the Eagles know QB's pretty good so I'm not going to be to quick dismissing their ability too judge WR's
He is a good deep threat, already. The question is can he develop into anything else and if he remains 1 dimensional, does someone like Shelton Gibson earn more reps. Would rather add Gibson for free than trade for Hollins, assuming the league is deep enough Hollins is owned from last year. Same bet, same odds.(imho) I also think he compares well to a 32 yr old Wallace in so far as running deep routes (Season may take some toll) Meaning the opportunity should be present but has he developed the skills needed? Definitely potential considering such a small investment required (Latest news on Twitter is missing practice) Depending upon roster limits it might be nice to see more action in the PreSeason
I agree Goedert could have value this year. He is a better player than Burton, and no reason to think Wentz, if healthy, can't make 2 TE relevant, especially if one is a target hog and the other is a RZ threat. All news from Philly media on him is great.Jeffery was always an injury headache in Chicago. Bears fan here. I feel like Aghalor is probably the big play here for WRs, but this situation makes me think more and more that Goedert could really have a rookie impact.
I like Goedert in this offense even with Jeffery in the lineup. If Jeffery misses time Goedert can run the intermediate and deep routes better than Ertz and will certainly be involved in their RZ packages.I agree Goedert could have value this year.

FWIW Shelton Gipson (sp?) was getting a little buzz earlier. At least, I had read in a few places that he was showing well.So based on responses so far, I assume there is no other young unknown WR in Philly that people think could emerge, correct?
How many WR's the Eagles going to roster? Believe Hollins is a lock based on ST's and 1st team reps IF you are a fan of both Wallace and Wheaton it's near impossible to like the speed and route running of GibsonSo based on responses so far, I assume there is no other young unknown WR in Philly that people think could emerge, correct?
