Sun Dec 15 2013 | 18:32 | Jason Avant gets first TD since Week 3 |
Jason Avant caught three passes for 40 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's Week 15 loss at Minnesota. |
Even Avant got involved in the party as the Eagles predictably shredded the Vikings' woeful and injured secondary. It's his first touchdown since Week 2 and his first time over 40 yards since October. Leave Avant on waiver wires as he continues to lose snaps to move tight end Zach Ertz. |

Jason Avant caught one pass for 20 yards in Sunday's Week 13 win over the Cardinals. |
Avant only flashed when he committed a silly block in the back penalty on a long LeSean McCoy run. He's getting replaced in the slot often by rookie TE Zach Ertz. Avant has a total of four catches over the last four weeks. |

Sun Nov 10 2013 | 18:44 | Jason Avant gets two catches in win |
Jason Avant caught two passes for 25 yards in Sunday's Week 10 win at Green Bay. |
Ever since a fluky 5/87/1 line in Week 3, Avant has predictably been a non-factor. He has a total of 16 catches for 172 yards with no touchdowns in the seven games since then. |

Sun Nov 3 2013 | 20:22 | Jason Avant held without a catch in win |
Jason Avant was held without a catch in Philadelphia's Week 9 rout of the Raiders. |
That's despite the fact that Nick Foles threw for seven touchdowns and 406 yards. The goose egg snaps a string of four straight three-catch performances for the veteran wideout. Avant has cleared 40 yards twice in nine games, and is barely on the WR4 radar. |

Sun Oct 27 2013 | 16:24 | Jason Avant gets three catches in loss |
Jason Avant caught three passes for 54 yards in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Giants. |
Avant continues to play a ton of snaps as the Eagles refuse to go away from their three-wide set or look for someone more dangerous in the slot. So he's on pace to catch 50 passes for 754 yards with two touchdowns. Fantasy owners should be aiming much higher heading into a Week 9 game at Oakland. |

Sun Oct 20 2013 | 18:38 | Foles misses Avant repeatedly Sunday |
Jason Avant caught three passes for 32 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Cowboys. |
Avant was open repeatedly -- including one time for a long touchdown -- but Nick Foles turned in one of the most inaccurate performances we've seen all season. It resulted in the sure-handed Avant hauling in just three of his 12 targets. Regardless, the Eagles' slot man is far off the fantasy radar. |

Fri Sep 20 2013 | 00:24 | Jason Avant has 5/87/1 night vs. Chiefs |
Jason Avant caught five passes for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs. |
Avant made a nice over-the-shoulder grab in the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown in the first quarter, and displayed his vise-like hands in the fourth, turning a tipped ball of his own making into a diving 20-yard catch. The score was just his third since 2009. Avant has a pair of ball-mitt hands, but is entirely devoid of explosion. He remains off the radar for serious fantasy players. |

Mon Jul 22 2013 | 10:05 | Jason Avant's roster spot in jeopardy? |
Philly Mag: Birds 24/7 believes Eagles WR Jason Avant's roster spot could be in jeopardy. |
Avant is coming off a career-high 53 catches last season, but is a middling talent and will face competition from Arrelious Been and UDFA Russell Shepard in training camp. Riley Cooper, Damaris Johnson, and Clay Harbor are also on the roster bubble. |

Mon May 20 2013 | 08:23 | Avant, Harbor not changing positions |
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports neither Jason Avant nor Clay Harbor are changing positions despite taking snaps on defense in OTAs. |
Harbor ended up spending only one day at outside linebacker, while Avant took a handful of reps at defensive back. Reporter Jeff McLane describes the moves as "an effort to explore different scenarios." Avant says he's open to anything. "It's one of those things that I work hard, and whatever that may be, and whatever the team wants me to do, I'll do it," Avant said. "I'm going to do it the best I can. I don't necessarily think it's a clouded future. I think it's an honor, in any way, for any coach to think you can do other things." |

Sat May 18 2013 | 12:30 | Eagles working Jason Avant at defensive back |
The Eagles have been working WR Jason Avant at defensive back. |
Coach Chip Kelly is certainly putting his stamp on the team. We already mentioned a couple of days ago how TE Clay Harbor was dabbling at outside linebacker. Avant set a career-high with 53 catches last season, but he's nothing more than a middling slot talent with no big-play ability. The Eagles traded for Arrelious Benn, and Avant might be on the outside looking in at the 53-man roster. |

Sun Dec 30 2012 | 19:02 | Jason Avant finishes up with 39 yards |
Jason Avant caught four passes for 39 yards in the Eagles' Week 17 loss to the Giants. |
Avant left the game to get X-rays on his foot and knee early on, but quickly returned. The sure-handed slot receiver had another predictably boring season with 53 catches, 648 yards and no touchdowns. Over the last three years, Avant has a total of two touchdowns despite catching 156 passes. He's not a playmaker and could see his playing time reduced in 2013 under a new regime. Avant was a favorite of fired head coach Andy Reid. |

Fri Dec 14 2012 | 01:15 | Avant catches 3-of-4 targets in Week 15 loss |
Jason Avant caught three-of-four targets for 33 yards in Week 15 versus the Bengals. |
Avant's first two catches came early on and ended up as third-down conversions, but he finished fourth on the team with his four targets. It's obvious that Nick Foles trusts the veteran receiver, but the sure-handed Avant should be left on waiver wires. |

Sun Dec 9 2012 | 18:18 | Jason Avant comes up with monster day |
Jason Avant reeled in seven catches for 133 yards in the Eagles' Week 14 win over the Bucs. |
Rookie Nick Foles loves throwing to Avant, who now has 11 catches for 212 yards on 17 targets in the last two weeks. The veteran put his uncanny hands on display in the first half with a one-handed grab that will go down as one of the best catches we've seen all season. Still, Avant's won't be facing the league's worst secondary every week and his upside is capped by his brutal after-the-catch ability. We wouldn't chase Avant's big day against the Bengals on Thursday night. |

Mon Dec 3 2012 | 00:55 | Jason Avant has four-catch night |
Jason Avant caught four passes for 79 yards in Philadelphia's Week 13 loss to the Cowboys. |
He was targeted five times. The yards were a season high for Avant, while the four-catch night was just his third since Week 1. Even with DeSean Jackson done for the season, Avant isn't about to come on the redraft radar during his age-29 campaign. He's on pace for 43 catches and 507 yards after posting a 52/679/1 line in 2011. |

Jason Avant (hamstring) returned to Eagles practice Wednesday. |
He'll be good to go against the Cowboys after sitting out the past two weeks. Even with DeSean Jackson (ribs) out for the year, however, Avant remains well off the fantasy radar. |
