Jalen Reagor 2021 Outlook: Big Opportunity in Year 2 After Injury-Riddled Rookie Season
4 years agoAfter being drafted 21st overall in 2020, Jalen Reagor appeared in just 11 games his rookie season, tallying 31 receptions for 396 yards and one touchdown on 54 targets. He dealt with multiple injuries throughout the season but also was on an offense that really struggled to find a rhythm. Carson Wentz had the worst statistical year of his career and the Eagles decided to move away from him in favor of Jalen Hurts starting in Week 14. Despite playing on an average of just 60.7% of the snaps, Reagor averaged 6.3 targets per game during Hurts' three full games between Weeks 14 and 16. With Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson now gone, Reagor figures to take on more of a full-time role alongside the newest first-round selection DeVonta Smith. The coaching staff has gone through an overhaul, and it's possible former Colts head coach Nick Sirianni attempts to establish the run more so than the previous regime, but the fact of the matter is the Eagles are projected to win just seven games this season. They averaged the 11th-most pass attempts per game a season ago and could do so again in 2021. Reagor should have every opportunity to solidify himself as the WR2 on this team and has the potential to become a serviceable WR4 from a fantasy perspective.
