Nelson Agholor, WR

Last week, we saw glimpses of the 2016 version of Nelson Agholor, and it wasn’t pretty at all. He had multiple dropped passes on some very nice throws in tight windows by Wentz. Hopefully, it was just a one-week occurrence as we need Agholor back to his old self.

This weekend, the Eagles are going to throw Agholor back into his actual position in the slot. Now we know that doesn’t exactly help his cause for drops, but that is precisely where he feels confident. And a confident Nelson Agholor is exactly what the Eagles need this week.

Minimize the drops against the Vikings, and the Eagles do a much better job on offense this time around. Assuming that the Vikings are going to keep a close eye on Jeffery, some very favorable opportunities are going to open up for Agholor and Wentz is undoubtedly going to find him once again. It was just one bad week for the receiver, and we should see a much better job from Agholor this week while he is back to where he’s comfortable.
