Agholor is expected to handle an increased role at wide receiver during Saturday's wild-card round game against the Steelers, with Zay Flowers (knee) ruled out, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
Agholor sat out Baltimore's regular-season finale against the Browns as a healthy scratch, though he missed the team's prior two games while recovering from a concussion. Rashod Bateman will be called upon to step up as the Raven's top wideout with Flowers sidelined, and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely are also capable of shouldering greater roles in the receiving game. Agholor, though, could see one of his highest snap shares of the year while working as the No. 2 receiver behind Bateman, with Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker also inheriting expanded depth roles.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Inactive versus Browns
Rotowire
Agholor is inactive for Saturday's game against the Browns.
After being listed as a full practice participant this week, Agholor -- who had missed two straight games with a concussion -- approached the contest without an injury designation. With the wideout inactive for Baltimore's regular-season finale, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker are candidates to see added Week 18 snaps behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: No designation for Week 18
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Browns.
Agholor was a full participant in practice throughout the week, and his lack of a designation for Saturday's contest indicates that he's received clearance from an independent neurologist and has been removed from the five-step concussion protocol. He should return to his familiar role as Baltimore's No. 3 wideout behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Opens week with full practice
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
The Ravens haven't confirmed that Agholor has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but his ability to open Week 18 prep with a full practice is a sign that he's on pace to be ready to play Saturday versus the Browns. Agholor has missed the Ravens' last two games, which has allowed Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker to see more reps alongside the team's top two wideouts, Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Missing second straight game
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Texans.
Agholor will miss his second straight contest due to the concussion, after he was placed in the NFL's five-step protocol following the Ravens' Dec. 15 win over the Giants. He wasn't able to log any practice activity this week before being ruled out, but Agholor should be helped by the lengthier turnaround for the Ravens' regular-season finale Jan. 5 versus the Browns. Agholor's absence for Wednesday's contest will likely pave the way for Tylan Wallace to earn more snaps as the team's No. 3 receiver, assuming Zay Flowers (shoulder) -- who is listed as questionable -- is able to play.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: No practice Monday
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) was a non-participant at Monday's practice.
Agholor has been in the concussion protocol for nearly a week, but with no on-field work to speak of yet, he appears to be trending toward a second straight absence Wednesday in Houston. Tuesday's injury report could provide some clarity in that regard, but with Zay Flowers also not practicing this week due to a shoulder issue, Rashod Bateman, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and Steven Sims are the healthy wide receivers on the Ravens' active roster.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: DNP on practice estimate
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Sunday's practice estimate.
The Ravens played the Steelers on Saturday, with the team holding a late-afternoon walkthrough one day later. Agholor was inactive versus Pittsburgh due to his concussion, and it remains to be seen if he'll gain clearance for Wednesday's contest against the Texans. Look for added context on that front to arrive via Monday and Tuesday's practice reports.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Downgraded to out for Week 16
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) was downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Steelers.
Agholor initially was listed as questionable to play versus Pittsburgh, but his next chance to suit up will be next Wednesday against the Texans on Christmas Day. Rashod Bateman (foot) remains questionable for Baltimore's Saturday contest. Tylan Wallace and fourth-round rookie Devontez Walker are next in line for snaps behind Zay Flowers. Meanwhile, Diontae Johnson was waived Friday following a tumultuous two months in Baltimore.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Steelers.
His availability is the subject of more intrigue than usual, as fellow wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) also is listed as questionable. Agholor didn't practice at all this week, but Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports that Ravens coach John Harbaugh said the wideout has a chance to clear concussion protocol before Saturday's game. Bateman also was listed as a non-participant Thursday, after being a mid-week addition to the injury report Wednesday (as a limited participant).

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Not practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Agholor (concussion) didn't participate in practice Thursday but worked off to the side for 30 minutes, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
Added context regarding Agholor's Week 16 status will arrive via Thursday's injury report. For now, he's iffy for Saturday's game against the Steelers, but if Agholor ends up sidelined this weekend, added WR snaps would be available for Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Agholor was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a concussion.
Agholor played 17 of the Ravens' 59 offensive snaps and caught his lone target for a 26-yard gain in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Giants, but the veteran receiver was diagnosed with a concussion following the contest. The Ravens are facing a quick turnaround ahead of a Saturday game against the Texans, so Agholor could struggle to clear the five-step protocol in time to play this weekend. If he is forced to miss his first game of the season, Tylan Wallace and rookie Devontez Walker could be in store for extra snaps behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Diontae Johnson was reinstated from his one-game suspension Monday but has been excused from team activities this week, which suggests that the Ravens aren't planning on including him in Saturday's game plan.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Notches one catch in Week 9
Rotowire
Agholor recorded one reception on one target for 29 yards Sunday in a 41-10 rout of the Broncos.
Agholor's lone reception came in the first quarter and helped set up a Derrick Henry touchdown run. Agholor logged 33 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps in the contest, his lowest mark of the season. The veteran wideout could spend less time on the field after the Ravens acquired Diontae Johnson in a trade with the Panthers last Tuesday.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: First touchdown of 2024
Rotowire
Agholor caught three of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Browns.
Sunday marked Agholor's highest single-game target count this season and he cashed in his first touchdown of the year with the additional opportunities. His five targets tied for second on the team and his 36 yards were tied for third. Agholor has just a 50.0 percent catch rate on the year -- which drags down his YPT (7.7) -- and he profiles as the No. 4 option in this passing game most weeks. The Ravens host the Broncos in Week 9.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Minimal production in win
Rotowire
Agholor caught one of his two targets for 20 yards in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
Agholor continued to operate as the Ravens No. 3 wide receiver Monday, playing 28 of the Ravens 59 offensive snaps behind Rashod Bateman (45) and Zay Flowers (42). Through seven games, the veteran wideout has only one catch in all but one contest: Week 4 when he caught two passes. Due to his consistent minimal production, Agholor should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Makes 25-yard grab Sunday
Rotowire
Agholor caught one pass for 25 yards on three targets Sunday against the Commanders.
The veteran has settled into a role in which he's playing roughly 50 percent of the snaps each week. Agholor has drawn at least three targets in each of the last three weeks and four of the last five games overall. However, it's not translating into bankable fantasy production. He only has one game with more than one catch thus far and is sitting at just seven receptions for 114 yards on the season. His 40 percent catch rate should correct as the season wears on, but he does not project to have a significant target share regardless. The Ravens hit the road to take on the Buccaneers in Week 7.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Big gain against Cowboys
Rotowire
Agholor secured his lone target for a 56-yard gain Sunday against the Cowboys.
Once again Agholor was lightly used despite playing a healthy amount of snaps. However, he made the most of his opportunity by breaking a 56-yard gain with plenty of those yards coming after the catch. Agholor played just one fewer snap than Rashod Bateman, but neither played a particularly high snap share overall at 60 and 62 percent, respectively. The veteran remains a fringe option in very deep formats, and while he gets plenty of playing time, his 5.8 percent target share and 15.2 percent target per route rate are far from ideal for production.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Targeted three times Sunday
Rotowire
Agholor had a 13-yard reception on three targets in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Raiders.
The veteran saw his snap share jump from 35 percent to 54 percent in Sunday's game. However, Agholor's actual involvement in the passing game was minimal, as he drew three targets on 35 snaps. Agholor will be on the field when the Ravens deploy three-receiver sets, but he is far down the pecking order in terms of targets.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: One catch in opener
Rotowire
Agholor played 38 percent of the snaps Thursday against the Chiefs and caught his lone target for a six-yard gain.
The veteran reportedly had a solid training camp, but it did not translate into a large role in the season opener. The Ravens didn't use many three-wide sets, and the duo of Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman were on the field for the vast majority of snaps. With Isaiah Likely emerging as a weapon in the offense, the Ravens may continue to replicate the personnel packages they employed Thursday, which squeezes Agholor's usage upside.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Week 18 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
With the Ravens expected to rest Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham in Week 18 against the Steelers with the No. 1 seed in the AFC locked up, look for Agholor to be the top option in the passing game. Tyler Huntley will likely start for Baltimore with Lamar Jackson also resting, but Agholor can still be a desperation No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues. He does have two touchdowns in his past six games.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Minimal usage against Jaguars
Rotowire
Agholor was held without a catch (one target) on 27 snaps Sunday against the Jaguars.
The veteran saw his snap count scale back Sunday as he dropped from 42 snaps against the Rams in Week 14 to just 27 (39 percent) against the Jags. Still, Sunday's game was more in line with Agholor's usage over the course of the season than his game against L.A. Outside of the Rams performance, Agholor has drawn two or fewer targets each week since Week 6. Baltimore's primary loadout at receiver consists of Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman, which does not leave much room for significant contributions from Agholor most weeks considering the offense's preference for bigger personal groupings that feature at least one tight end more often than not.
