Fantasy Upside
WR Nelson Agholor has a chance to be very good right from the start in the Eagles offense. The Birds don't have a lot of talent at the position and Agholor comes in with the ability to change that. The rookie already displayed his talents in preseason Week 1 as he reached up high to catch a quick pass and used his speed to take it to the house. With Jordan Matthews likely to operate out of the slot, Agholor appears a lock to earn one of the outside jobs.
Fantasy Downside
Agholor is just a rookie, but we've seen rookie WRs explode on the scene in the recent past. While Agholor certainly has the chance to do that, the Eagles will look to run the ball and like Riley Cooper's blocking ability on the outside. Veteran Miles Austin is also in the mix as is second-year man Josh Huff. Agholor will have to continue living up to expectation if he wants to keep his job.
Bottom Line
Agholor is ranked 37th on our WR list, which puts him in the low-end WR3 range in 12-team leagues. There are more experienced guys ranked around Agholor on our list like John Brown, Charles Johnson, Eddie Royal and Marques Colston, for example. You may feel more comfortable with those options, but Agholor has the upside that could make him a more valuable pick.
