Now with his second team in just as many seasons, Green-Beckham will get an early chance to make Eagles fans happy that their team recently traded for him. Philadelphia’s new receiver caught zero passes on two targets in his preseason debut with the team against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Thursday.
Fantasy impact: With fellow Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews recovering from a minor knee injury, Green-Beckham could have an immediate impact for his new team’s offense in 2016.
For some reason, fantasy owners are skeptical about how he will produce in Philadelphia as his ADP for this season has fallen since he was traded by the Tennessee Titans. But if the Eagles’ current efforts to get Green-Beckham involved in the offense are any indication, fantasy owners should snag him off the draft board if the opportunity presents itself in the later rounds.
