Huff is listed as one of three starting wide receivers on the first depth chart of the regular season, joining Jodan Matthews and Nelson Agholor, with Dorial Green-Beckham and
EDGE Analysis
The group doesn't inspire much faith behind slot man Jordan Matthews, who is still seeking the first 1,000-yard season of his career. Agholor , a first-round selection last year, has also failed to make a strong impression, reportedly turning in an inconsistent training camp on the heels of a disappointing rookie season. Huff may thus have some chance to emerge as the No. 2 wide receiver, though the Eagles probably want to give Agholor a bit more time to develop. The team doesn't list a backup behind Mathews in the slot, suggesting he could be in for a very busy season, even if the quarterback play is ugly. Huff and Agholor will likely find targets more difficult to come by.

Huff hauled in both of his targets for a team-leading 60 yards and added 10 yards and a touchdown on two carries during Saturday's preseason contest versus the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Huff was dynamic Saturday, as he caught passes of 22 and 38 yards and was able to cap off a 63-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown scamper early in the second quarter. Huff saw a noticeable uptick in production in 2015, his second as a pro, but he still finished with just 312 yards and three touchdowns on 27 catches. It appears the Eagles are finding different ways to get him involved this preseason, indicating that he could take another step forward once the regular season rolls around.

Huff is listed as the starter in place of Jordan Matthews (knee) for Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Huff also started the last preseason game, but he only caught one pass for five yards on two targets, and the Eagles rotated wide receivers with the first-team offense. Though seemingly still in the mix for the No. 3 job, Huff isn't necessarily a lock to make the final roster, as Jordan Matthews (knee), Nelson Agholor and Dorial-Green Beckham are locks, with Rueben Randle, Chris Givens and undrafted rookie Paul Turner also in the mix.

Huff caught one pass for five yards on two targets in Thursday's preseason game against Pittsburgh, despite getting the start for a second straight week, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
In Jordan Matthews' (knee) absence, Huff got the start alongside Nelson Agholor and Chris Givens, with Rueben Randle and rookie UDFA Paul Turner also mixing in while starting quarterback Sam Bradford was still in the game. With none of the bunch -- besides Turner -- looking particularly impressive this preseason, Agholor remains the favorite to lock down a starting job on the outside. The No. 3 wideout role is still up for grabs, with the long list of candidates possibly now including recent trade acquisition Dorial Green-Beckham. While still a viable candidate for the role, Huff may also be playing for a roster spot, as the Philadelphia receiving corps is extremely muddled beyond Matthews.

Huff will start Thursday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
With Jordan Matthews (knee) sidelined for the next few weeks, Huff will given the first shot to work with the first-team offense in a game. While that won't necessarily equate to significant reps, the development indicates Huff's current standing in the WR pecking order in Philadelphia.

Huff was held without a catch in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Despite playing much better football in his second year than he did in his rookie season, Huff's production was still very inconsistent. He caught just one pass for eight yards in the final two games of the year, and racked up 20 yards or fewer in nine games this season. Whether he can be the speedy play-maker former head coach Chip Kelly envisioned remains to be seen; so far, it doesn't look promising.

Huff was targeted twice, recording one catch for eight yards in Saturday's loss to Washington/
EDGE Analysis
Huff was coming off of a game against Arizona during which he tied a season high with four catches. The swift slot man hasn't made much a splash since Week 5's 78-yard performance, topping 50 yards receiving just once since. Projecting Huff's Week 17 is a mixed back of uncertainty. On one hand, he will square off against one of the league's worst defenses. On the other, his former college coach and advocate, Chip Kelly, has now become his former pro coach.

Huff caught four passes for 52 yards in Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Huff has six catches in his past two games, and has two touchdowns in the last five. Those numbers, while pedestrian for most wideouts, are revelations for the second-year receiver. Still, he remains tremendously inconsistent. His increased involvement in the Eagles' offense is more a good sign for the actual football team than anyone's fantasy squad in these final two weeks. He's a boom-or-bust option in very, very deep leagues.

Huff recorded two catches off of three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday was Huff's first multi-catch game in four weeks. The young speedster is a constant threat to take the ball to the house, but has been targeted more than four times just twice all season and hasn't topped 40 yards receiving since Week 5. The off chance of a touchdown strike does not warrant the more-likely risk of a mediocre performance.

Huff (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Huff has scored a TD in two of his last three games, but his modest target volume makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy play this weekend.
