Scouting report

PHI WR Nelson Agholor - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Minnesota Vikings

The Eagles have an average implied team total this week, and Alshon Jeffery is likely to see CB Xavier Rhodes in coverage. If Jeffery struggles, Agholor would be the beneficiary of targets. Jeffery has held his own though against the defense over the past three years. 12 targets last week were promising for Agholor, but he's failed to reach 30 yards in consecutive games. We have to downgrade him to a risky FLEX play at this point. Agholor only had 3-59-0 in the NFC Championship game against Minnesota.

PHI WR Nelson Agholor - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Tennessee Titans

Carson Wentz's return meant a concerning drop in targets for Nelson Agholor. Double-digits the first two weeks down to five last week. That's very concerning, especially since Alshon Jeffery was still out. The Titans rank 13th in aFPA to WRs and this game has the third-lowest total on the Week 4 slate, indicating a likely low-scoring affair. Agholor should be considered a flex/low-end WR2 in Week 4.

PHI WR Nelson Agholor - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Philadelphia has an attractive 27-point implied team total this week. The Colts are just seventh in PPR points allowed to WRs this season, but look closer. That ranking comes from facing a Washington team last week that does not feature its wide receivers. In Week 1, the Colts allowed two touchdowns to wideouts. With Alshon Jeffery still on the shelf and now Mike Wallace on IR, Agholor should get a ton of targets. Agholor is a solid WR2 in Week 3, with WR1 upside.

PHI WR Nelson Agholor - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Agholor was extremely inefficient with his receptions last week, but that may have been a product of playing with a backup quarterback against a solid Falcons defense. This week, Agholor gets a Tampa Bay defense that was just 31st in aFPA to WRs last year. He should again vie with tight end Zach Ertz to again lead the Eagles in targets and receptions with Alshon Jeffery still out. Consider him a WR2 in a plus matchup in Week 2.

PHI WR Nelson Agholor - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Atlanta Falcons (Thursday)
No Alshon Jeffery for Week 1 Thursday night should mean increased targets for Agholor, who opens the season as the likely second fantasy option in the Eagles pass attack, behind tight end Zach Ertz. Agholor only saw three targets in the NFC divisional playoff game last year against Atlanta, but he should get more than that Thursday night, especially if the Eagles fall behind, as Vegas essentially has this as a coin-flip game. Consider Agholor a potential FLEX/WR3 for Thursday night.

PHI WR Nelson Agholor - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Alshon Jeffery has been slow to recover from a shoulder injury. If he were to miss time at the start of the season, Agholor would be sure to benefit along with tight end Zach Ertz. Agholor finished as a top-25 WR last season powered by eight touchdowns.

Fantasy Downside

The Eagles like to spread the ball around. There were nine games last season when Agholor saw fewer than six targets. That usage makes him tough to predict weekly in redraft leagues when all the Eagles weapons are active.

2018 Bottom Line

Agholor's ninth-round ADP is very reasonable considering the status of Jeffery and the elite level of this offense last season. Agholor definitely has some sleeper appeal.

PHI WR Nelson Agholor - Week 21 Fantasy Football Outlook

Super Bowl vs. New England Patriots

What matters in this different one-game format is not so much how many points we project each player for but how much each player costs per point. In FanDuel's half-point PPR format, here's how we value the wide receivers in terms of dollar/FanDuel point: Brandin Cooks>Alshon Jeffery>Nelson Agholor>Danny Amendola>Torrey Smith>Chris Hogan>Mack Hollins>Phillip Dorsett.

As for DraftKings' full PPR scoring, here's how we value the receivers in terms of dollar/DraftKings point: Brandin Cooks>Nelson Agholor>Alshon Jeffery>Danny Amendola>Torrey Smith>Chris Hogan>Mack Hollins>Phillip Dorsett.
