Raiders think WR Nelson Agholor could play major role in passing game

Aug 25, 2020

Nelson Agholor is getting a second chance in the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders -- another opportunity to prove he still has the first-round talent the Philadelphia Eagles saw when they drafted him five years ago. While Agholor's career was full of highs and lows in Philadelphia, he's back on the West Coast in Vegas and fighting for a role in the Raiders offense. Judging by the early reviews in training camp practices, the Raiders expect Agholor to play a vital role in the passing game this year.

Fantasy Impact:

While a major role may not equal a fantasy-worthy role, the story said Agholor signed a one-year deal with the Raiders and he will be battling for the No. 4 wide receiver role with Zay Jones and 2020 third-round pick Bryan Edwards.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
