BALLER MOVE: Target ~200
CURRENT ADP: 213
ANALYSIS: Nelson Agholor was a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, but missed three games during his rookie campaign due to an ankle injury and was not heavily utilized by the struggling Eagles offense. He had just 23 catches on 44 targets for 283 yards and a touchdown. However, he’ll be playing in a new offense in 2016 and appears to be fully healthy.
Agholor played three seasons at USC and amassed 179 receptions for 2,571 yards and 20 touchdowns before leaving school early for the NFL. He doesn't posses blazing speed that can take the top off a defense, but he has a knack for making big plays. He averaged 15.6 yards per catch in college, and had 12.3 yards per catch with the Eagles last season.
Jordan Matthews will remain the top option in the Eagles’ passing attack, running back Darren Sproles is a dangerous receiver out of the backfield, and Zach Ertz has quickly developed into a top tight end target. However, Agholor should be able to beat out both Josh Huff and newcomer Reuben Randle for the No. 2 wide receiver job.
According to Fantasy Pros, Agholor is coming off the board as the No. 72 wide receiver, but it's not a stretch to think that he could finish as a WR3 in standard leagues.
