Eagles List Four Starting RBs On Depth Chart, Including D'Andre Swift
1 year agoThe Philadelphia Eagles released an unofficial depth chart that listed Kenneth Gainwell, Rashaad Penny, Boston Scott, and D'Andre Swift as co-starters ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. It's worth noting that the Eagles listed the running backs in alphabetical order by last name, hence Gainwell being placed first. This also should come as no surprise considering the uncertainty around the Eagles' backfield this offseason. It makes the most sense for Swift to operate as the primary pass-catching option/home run hitter while Penny takes early downs and goal-line work, which gives Gainwell the change-of-pace and two-minute drill role. We should get more clarity on the workload split over the first month of the season but all three-backs figure to get meaningful touches in what should be one of the NFL's premier offenses once again. It could be a headache for fantasy managers in the early going but these situations tend to work themselves out.
