After a mixed start to his career with the Tennessee Titans, Dorial Green-Beckham was traded in the offseason to the Philadelphia Eagles and started 2016 off in relatively nondescript fashion.
But Week 6 may have represented a turning point in Green-Beckham's season. While the standard stats don't show much (4 catches for 23 yards), what's more intriguing is that Green-Beckham was on the field for the third-most snaps amongst wide receivers at 80.8%.
Week 7 continued to show promise, as Carson Wentz spread the ball around but Green-Beckham was second in team targets (albeit only four), and turned one of those into a touchdown.
The Eagles will face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8, who are middle of the pack in allowing fantasy points to wide receivers (24.1 per game, 15th). Against the run, however, the Cowboys are far more staunch, allowing the fourth-fewest points in the league. Look for the Eagles to be throwing often in Week 8 and Green-Beckham to be a part of that attack.
