54. . WR. Western Michigan. Corey Davis. 17. player

The Philadelphia Eagles got off to one of the hottest starts in the league this season. In fact, they were 3-0 and coming off a huge 34-3 win over the Steelers and Carson Wentz was looking like a Rookie of the Year candidate, but two straight losses changed that.

Philadelphia is now just 5-9 on the season and Wentz is desperate for more receiving targets. Jordan Matthews has been a No. 1 guy for the Eagles for the past couple of years, but he hasn’t been consistent enough.

Nelson Agholor has been inconsistent and so has Dorial Green-Beckham. This team needs to add some fresh blood at the position.

Don’t know much about Corey Davis? Maybe you haven’t been following college football that closely this season since the senior wide out has been one of the main reasons why Western Michigan is undefeated this season. He has accounted for over 1,400 yards in each of the past three seasons for the Broncos.

Davis is a big 6-foot-3 target with decent speed and aggressiveness and he’s not afraid to attack the ball. He usually wins those 50-50 balls and he could come in and be a top target for Wentz right away.
