Who are the number 3 wr's in Philly and Cincy? (1 Viewer)

Is it Avant in Philly? And what's the story in Cincy? Tab or the Antonio(assuming both are healthy enough to play).

Avant is the #3 in Philly. However many would argue that that puts him probably as #5 on the target list:

Westbrook

Brown

Curtis or LJ Smith, take your pick

Avant

It's surprising to me that Avant is the #3 WR in Philly. Hank Baskett looks like a star in the making whenever I watch him and the guy seemed like he was on the verge of being the #2 there last season. I have to believe if either Brown or Curtis where to go down, that the team would give Baskett an opportunity just as much as they would Avant to claim that spot.

I don't follow the Eagle's, I just know that Baskett looks like he has "it".

It's Tab Perry in Cincinnati.

Jason Avant's ascension to the third wideout spot is all but official. It has more to do with Avant's training-camp performance than with anything incumbent Hank Baskett has done wrong. Avant, a second-year player, might have been the Birds' best wideout this summer.

"He's a big, strong guy that has a real good change of direction," Reid said after the Pittsburgh game, in which Avant caught four passes for 34 yards. Avant's best moment came when he pretty much carried Steelers linebacker James Farrior several yards after catching a short pass over the middle from McNabb. Avant's second effort gave the Eagles a first down at the Pittsburgh 6.

"He knows how to use his body in there," Reid said. "He didn't have a drop the whole time we were up at Lehigh, and he's kind of maintained that through the games. He's done a nice job."
