Why the Eagles can cover
The Eagles offense is one of the best units in the league. They have a plethora of pass catchers who can create positive plays and move the chains. Receiver DeVonta Smith is a crafty route runner. He is known as “Mr. Reliable” in Philly because of his sure hands and ability to step up in big moments. In Week 1, the Alabama product had seven catches for 84 yards. In his career with the Eagles, Smith has recorded 247 receptions for 3,262 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns.
Tight end Dallas Goedert is another security blanket for the Eagles. Goedert uses his size to box out defenders, but also as an asset as a blocker. Through seven NFL seasons, the 29-year-old recorded 311 catches for 3,620 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns. See who to back on SportsLine.

He has strong vision to find the open hole while possessing sure hands as a pass-catcher. In the season opener against the Steelers, Robinson had 68 rushing yards and added five receptions for 43 yards.
Receiver Drake London can win from all three levels of the field and gives this offense a solid threat from the red zone. Through two NFL seasons, the 23-year-old has recorded 143 receptions (230 targets) for 1,786 receiving yards and six touchdowns. See who to back on SportsLine.
