Philly wasn't active early on in free agency, but this is an excellent signing for them. Re-signing Stallworth was not worth it to the franchise thanks to his injuries and history of drops. To be honest, I think Kevin Curtis is almost identical to Stallworth, but without the hamstring problems, dropped passes, and hefty pricetag. He'll fit right into Stallworth's role in the offense as the deep threat. Curtis is only an inch shorter than Stallworth, has similar speed, has better hands, and runs better routes. He should fit perfectly into their offense.
Fantasy Impact: His value relies slightly on McNabb's recovery from a torn ACL. Philly has confidence that A.J. Feeley will be a solid backup as evidenced by them signing him to a 3 year deal this offseason, but obviously Feeley doesn't have arm or mobility that McNabb possesses. At any rate, in Philly's pass-first offense, Curtis should be a reliable WR3 on a weekly basis, with a bit more upside if McNabb is healthy. Reggie Brown will be the #1 WR, but Curtis should provide more big plays.
