Who breaks out for Eagles vs. 49ers?

NN: Give me three players you think will have massive games in Week 2.

"II: I’ll give you four actually. On offense, I think Hurts will continue to impress by doing some nice things both with his arm and his legs. I like this two-headed monster at running back with Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell. I’m absolutely in love with these young receivers. In terms of the wideouts, Philly got a touchdown reception from Jalen Reagor and DeVonta Smith. In Week 2, look for them to get Quez Watkins more involved. He caught three passes for 23 yards in the opener. He figures to have a big game in the home opener. On defense, I’m interested in seeing how Fletcher Cox responds after being shut out on the stat sheet (and after having his contract restructured). I’m also in love with Philly’s third defensive tackle, Milton Williams. Philly’s starting outside corners, Steven Nelson and Darius Slay, are huge talking pieces, but I want to see how Anthony Harris does in his second start for this team at safety. Two guys we’ve been waiting to pop for a while, Avonte Maddox and Derek Barnett, need to start earning their keep. I hope we see huge performances from them."
