Nelson Agholor Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor eclipsed 100 yards for the first time this season, catching five passes on nine targets with one touchdown. Agholor has now caught a touchdown in each of the last three games and has seen an average of five targets per game the last three weeks. After seeing just 19 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the first two weeks, Agholor has seen at least 79 percent of the team's offensive snaps in every game since Week 2. Agholor seems to be more of a deep ball threat, which makes his fantasy value questionable from week to week. He faces an average Browns secondary in Week 8 where he will look to have another good performance.

The Las Vegas Raiders signed wide receiver Nelson Agholor and offensive guard Erik Kush to undisclosed deals on Saturday. The team also re-signed running back Rod Smith on Saturday. Agholor, a former first-round pick by the Eagles in 2015, failed to take advantage of injuries to both Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson in 2019. The 26-year-old (27 in May) had a disappointing 39 catches (69 targets) for 363 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games and finished the season on the sidelines with an injury. Depending on what the Raiders do in the draft, Agholor should be in three-wide sets with Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow, but tight end Darren Waller will also continue to see his fair share of targets. At best, he'll go into draft season as a WR4/5 target in deeper leagues.

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to be in the market for wide receivers this offseason, and they've already been linked to Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent wide receiver Nelson Agholor. Agholor had his best season in 2017 when Frank Reich and Mike Groh were offensive assistants -- they are both with the Colts now. In just 11 games in 2019, Agholor disappointed with 39 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns. An injury ended his season early, but he couldn't take advantage of DeSean Jackson's injury that kept him out for the majority of the year. A change of scenery would probably serve him well, but he wouldn't be guaranteed a large role in Indy's run-first offense with questions at quarterback.
