5. Nelson Agholor, WR

Playing on his fifth-year option, Nelson Agholor has not exactly lived up to his salary’s expectations of nearly ten million dollars. While Agholor has had some nice catch and run flashes, more often than not, the veteran wideout is getting criticized for his mistakes.

Now Agholor’s effort seems to be an issue as he failed to reel in some deep passes over the last couple of weeks. Once again, there’s no denying that Wentz’s deep accuracy hasn’t been sharp, but Agholor hasn’t even been trying, and that’s a significant concern.

This week, Agholor needs to take all of the recent criticism aimed towards him and use it to his own advantage. This guy needs to bounce back in a major way. We understand he’s best suited as a third option, but the Eagles need him to step it up regardless. Agholor is playing for a contract, so the guy needs to do all he can to earn it.
