• Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Heavy workload to continue

  4D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Agholor will remain the Eagles' No. 1 wide receiver for the foreseeable future with Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) week-to-week and Mike Wallace out for the next few weeks due to a fractured fibula. Jeffery's recovery from surgery to repair a torn right rotator cuff has extended into the season, but Wallace's situation only came to light Sunday, when he limped off the field in the first quarter. Even if Jeffery gains his long-awaited clearance to play Sunday versus the Colts, Agholor is poised to lead a wide receiver corps that currently includes DeAndre Carter, Shelton Gibson and Kamar Aiken. Agholor has opened the season playing 140 of the Eagles' 151 offensive snaps, which he's turned into 16 catches for 121 yards and one touchdown on 22 targets.

• Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Eight catches in Week 2 loss

  5D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Agholor brought in eight of 12 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 27-21 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed once for two yards. Agholor saw another heavy workload with both Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) and Mike Wallace (ankle) sidelined, the latter suffering his injury early in the contest. The fourth-year wideout's two-yard touchdown with 2:46 remaining brought the Eagles to within 27-20 pending a Jake Elliott extra point, although they ultimately failed to score again. Agholor now has a pair of eight-catch tallies to open the season and will potentially have the benefit of Carson Wentz (knee) under center Week 3 versus the Colts.

• Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Remains busy in season-opening win

  15D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Agholor hauled in eight of 10 targets for 33 yards in the Eagles' 18-12 win over the Falcons on Thursday. He also completed his sole pass attempt for 15 yards to quarterback Nick Foles and rushed once for 16 yards. As his final line implies, Agholor had an eventful night, pacing the Eagles in catches while drawing even with Zach Ertz in targets. Agholor also made good use of a first-half end-around and connected with Foles in a reprise of the Eagles' "Philly Special" play midway through the third quarter. The fourth-year wideout's workload wasn't overly surprising, considering the absence of No. 1 wideout Alshon Jeffery (shoulder). Agholor will look to build on his strong effort against the Buccaneers in a Week 2 tilt on Sept. 16, although he likely won't be able to maximize his production until Carson Wentz's (knee) return to action, which could still be several weeks away.

• Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Primed for large workload

  23D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Agholor will lead an undermanned Philadelphia wideout corps with Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) expected to miss the first two weeks of the season, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Agholor recently dealt with a health concern of his own, as he sat out the Eagles' previous three preseason contests while recovering from an unspecified lower-body injury. He finally returned to practice Sunday and has avoided any setbacks thus far, putting him on track for a hefty workload in the Sept. 6 season opener against Atlanta. Jeffery's presumed absence frees up targets for everyone else in the Philadelphia offense, with Agholor and tight end Zach Ertz representing the safest bets to see a high volume of opportunities. In terms of snap count, Jeffery's usual workload likely will go to some combination of Mack Hollins (undisclosed), Shelton Gibson and No. 2 tight end Dallas Goedert.

• Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Returns to practice

  26D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Agholor (lower body) returned to practice Sunday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports. Meanwhile, Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) remains sidelined, leaving Agholor as the team's top wideout who is healthy enough to practice. As a starter in the Eagles offense, Agholor already has a decent floor from a fantasy perspective, with the potential for added opportunities if Jeffery's absence lingers into the regular season.
