Nelson Agholor Week 14 Outlook - Ravens at Browns

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 10th 2020, 8:39am EST

He's seen eight more targets than Ruggs over the last two weeks but has 48 fewer yards. To be fair, Agholor should've scored last week but Carr overthrew him. Just like all Raiders receivers, Agholor has been extremely hot-and-cold this year, though he has been more involved as of late, posting 54-plus yards in five of his last eight games. With Josh Jacobs likely out again, we should assume the Raiders pass the ball more. The Colts have seen just 18.1 wide receiver targets per game this year but have allowed a league-high 9.33 yards per target. Over the last three weeks, we've seen six different wide receivers post double-digit PPR points against them, including three Texans wide receivers who posted 11.5-plus PPR points, and two of them weren't even starters a couple weeks ago. Clearly, they're struggling a bit. The downside is that Agholor plays most of his snaps on the left side of the formation, which is where Xavier Rhodes has lived. He's allowed just 23-of-53 passing for 344 yards and two touchdowns in his coverage this year, which amounts to just 6.49 yards per target and a touchdown every 26.5 targets. He's played at a Pro Bowl level and hasn't allowed a reception of more than 20 yards since back in Week 8. Agholor remains in the fantasy conversation, but I'd prefer the surging Ruggs to him, which makes Agholor a WR4/5-type option.
