Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Bold predictions 2019’s remainder

1. Nelson Agholor leads all receivers, other than Philly’s awesome tight end, in receptions down the stretch. Alshon Jeffery hauls in the fewest catches among Philly’s starting wide receivers.

Here’s what most of you probably know and what some of you may have missed. Alshon Jeffery is second on the Eagles team in receptions and receiving yards, and he’s tied for the team lead in touchdowns with three.

Unfortunately, he’s only hauled in 34 receptions and racked up 353 receiving yards in Philly’s first nine games. That’s only two more receptions and 71 more yards than Nelson Agholor has.

On the surface, the numbers don’t appear to be horrible, but the Eagles need more out of the man who’s the top receiver on the depth chart. Here’s something else that’s unfortunate. There’s no reason to believe things will change much in weeks 11 through 17.

He’s clearly more hurt than people are saying. Expect Jeffery to stay steady down the season, but Jordan Matthews‘ return will halt much of his production and Carson Wentz, as he sometimes does, will become Zach Ertz reliant. Believe it or not, it’s very possible that Jeffery will haul in the fewest amount of receptions among the Eagles’ starting wide receivers while Agholor will haul in the most.
