When Agholor signed with the Ravens in March, he was probably expecting a big role as a primary receiver for Lamar Jackson. But then Baltimore signed Odell Beckham Jr. and drafted Zay Flowers, and Agholor finds himself as the No. 4 receiver at best for the Ravens when you factor in Rashod Bateman. And let's not forget Mark Andrews as well. It will be tough for Fantasy managers to count on Agholor, who should not be drafted in the majority of leagues. In 2022 with the Patriots, Agholor averaged just 4.7 PPR points per game, and he's averaged fewer than 9.0 PPR points per game in three of the past four seasons. At best, Agholor could be a waiver addition in deeper leagues, but it's hard to expect consistent production from him if everyone in Baltimore is healthy.
Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Bigger opportunity could await
Rotowire
Agholor is expected to serve as Baltimore's No. 2 wide receiver Sunday against the Browns with both Odell Beckham (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Bateman is sitting out for the first time this season, while Beckham will miss his second straight contest. The latter's absence paved the way for Agholor to play a season-best 72 percent of the offensive snaps in a 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts in Week 3, with the 30-year-old finishing with four catches for 39 yards on four targets. With Bateman now joining Beckham on the sideline, Agholor could be third in the pecking order for targets behind No. 1 wideout Zay Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews. Devin Duvernay and practice-squad member Laquon Treadwell are also likely to see snaps alongside Flowers and Agholor in three-receiver sets.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Effective in expanded role
Rotowire
Agholor caught all four of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's loss to Indianapolis.
The veteran saw plenty of playing time Sunday with Odell Beckham (ankle) sidelined as Agholor played the second-most snaps (52 of 72) among Baltimore receivers, behind only Zay Flowers' 67. Rashod Bateman played 50 snaps as well, signaling that Baltimore was comfortable with having three wide receivers as its base personnel. Agholor caught everything thrown his way and is up to nine catches for 102 yards and a touchdown over his last two games. Beckham isn't expected to miss extended time, but if he remains out again Week 4, Agholor would project to see a high snap share again.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Leading receiver in Week 2 win
Rotowire
Agholor caught five of six targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals.
Agholor took on a larger role after Odell Beckham (ankle) exited in the first half. After being held without a reception in his Baltimore debut, Agholor led the team in receiving yards in Week 2. His biggest catch was a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Agholor's a capable player with three 700-yard seasons under his belt, but carving out a consistent role won't be easy in a passing game that also includes Beckham, 2023 first-round pick Zay Flowers, 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman and tight end Mark Andrews.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: No catches in Ravens debut
Rotowire
Agholor was held without a catch on 24 snaps Sunday against the Texans.
It was a fruitless Baltimore debut for Agholor, who played a reserve role while three other Ravens receivers logged more snaps. It's worth noting that Rashod Bateman only narrowly edged out Agholor in snaps, but Agholor still went the entire game without drawing a target. Baltimore had a low passing volume on the afternoon overall, though Agholor failing to garner any attention from Lamar Jackson even without Mark Andrews (quadriceps) available does not bode well for his fantasy relevance at this stage. Baltimore travels to Cincinnati to play the Bengals in Week 2.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Rested Monday night
Rotowire
Agholor didn't play in Monday's preseason game against Washington, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Fellow veteran receiver Devin Duvernay started and played six snaps, while Agholor was among the many players rested. It thus seems Agholor is on track for the No. 4 receiver spot behind Odell Beckham, Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers, which could mean a decent bit of playing time Week 1 against Houston if Bateman has limitations in his first game back from a Lisfranc injury.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Part of crowded WR room
Rotowire
The Ravens have added Odell Beckham and first-round pick Zay Flowers to their WR room since signing Agholor in March, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
At the time he signed, Agholor didn't appear to have much competition for a top-three role, with Rashod Bateman (foot) and Devin Duvernay (foot) being the only other Baltimore receivers with significant experience as starters in the NFL. The team always figured to add more talent, but the double-dip on large investments probably pushes Agholor down to fourth or fifth on the depth chart, which is where he spent a chunk of last season in New England, bouncing in and out of the starting lineup. The soon-to-be 30-year-old is at least secure in terms of his roster spot, as his one-year, $3.25 million contract reportedly is fully guaranteed.

Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Signs with Ravens
Rotowire
The Ravens have signed Agholor to a one-year deal, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Per Zrebiec, Agholor's deal with Baltimore is for $3.25 million, with another $3 million potentially available to the 2015 first-rounder via incentives. In his second campaign with the Patriots, Agholor recorded 31 catches on 53 targets for 362 yards and two TDs in 2022; however, with the Ravens, the 29-year-old could see steadier target volume this coming season while bolstering a wideout corps previously headed by Rashod Bateman (foot) and Devin Duvernay (foot).

Nelson Agholor: Has visit with Baltimore
Rotowire
The Ravens have hosted Agholor on a free-agent visit, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
In 16 games with the Patriots last season, Agholor logged 31 catches on 53 targets for 362 yards and two TDs, while working in a wideout corps that also featured Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton. If Agholor catches on with the Ravens, however, there could be a more clear path to volume for the 2015 first-rounder, given the team's need to bolster its depth behind top returning WRs Rashod Bateman (foot) and Devin Duvernay (foot).

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Catches 31 passes this season
Rotowire
Agholor finished the 2022 season with 31 catches on 53 targets for 362 yards and two TDs in 16 games.
With Agholor having completed the two-year $22 million contract he signed with the Patriots in March of 2021, the 29-year-old is slated to become a free agent this offseason. With his profile in the team's offense having diminished down the stretch, it seems likely that the 2015 first-rounder will be playing elsewhere next season. It's possible that a change of scenery could benefit Agholor in terms of the potential for added volume, but for now his fantasy prospects for 2023 appear modest.

Agholor was on the field for 27 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
For the second straight week, Agholor (who saw one target versus Miami) didn't record a catch and was out-snapped by Tyquan Thornton (56), Jakobi Meyers (49) and Kendrick Bourne (28). Heading into this coming Sunday's regular season finale against the Bills, Agholor is off the fantasy radar.

Agholor, who was on the field for 19 of a possible 56 snaps on offense in Saturday's 22-18 loss to the Bengals, wasn't targeted in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
In a game in which the Patriots were without DeVante Parker (concussion), Agholor was out-snapped by Jakobi Meyers (56), Tyquan Thornton (52) and Kendrick Bourne (32). On the heels of consecutive quiet outings, Agholor isn't a high-percentage fantasy option ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: One catch in Week 15
Rotowire
Agholor was on the field for 54 of a possible 65 snaps on offense en route to catching one of his six targets for three yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
After hauling in five of his 10 targets for 32 yards in the Patriots' win over the Cardinals last Monday, Agholor's production dipped Week 15 in a contest in which QB Mac Jones threw for just 112 yards. Down the stretch, different game scripts and improved efficiency could help Agholor bounce back, but he still profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option ahead of Saturday's game against the Bengals.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
There's a chance Jakobi Meyers (concussion) could return for Week 15 at Las Vegas, but DeVante Parker (concussion) is out. That should allow Agholor to have a bigger role, and this is a revenge game for him against the Raiders since he played for Las Vegas in 2020. In Week 14 at Arizona with Meyers out and Parker getting hurt, Agholor led the team with 10 targets and finished with five catches for 32 yards. I would hope for better production against the Raiders, who have allowed nine receivers to score at least 12 PPR points in the past five games. Agholor is worth a look as a No. 3 receiver in deeper leagues.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Week 15 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Agholor saw 10 targets in Week 14 with Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker both out. I'd expect him to be Mac Jones' favorite target if neither can get healthy. He's a solid No. 3 if neither return and an upside flex if one gets back for Week 15. The Raiders are a bad defense and this counts as a revenge game for Agholor.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Patriots might be without Jakobi Meyers (concussion) and DeVante Parker (concussion) in Week 15 at the Raiders, which could be good for Agholor, Kendrick Bourne (3 percent rostered) and Tyquan Thornton (6 percent). In Week 14 when Parker was hurt and Meyers was out, Agholor had 10 targets and finished with five catches for 32 yards, Bourne had five targets for five catches and 47 yards and Thornton had four catches for 28 yards on five targets. Agholor should be the first one added of this group for 1 percent of your remaining FAB, and this is a revenge game for him since he played for Las Vegas in 2020.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Busy night in Week 14 win
Rotowire
Agholor secured five of 10 targets for 32 yards in the Patriots' 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday night.
Agholor tied for the team lead in receptions with Kendrick Bourne while comfortably setting the pace in targets with a total that qualified as a season high. The early exit of DeVante Parker with a head injury and the absence of Jakobi Meyers (concussion) certainly played a part in the busy night, but it's nevertheless encouraging the veteran speedster now has six- and five-catch tallies in two of his last three contests. Agholor could be heavily involved again in a favorable Week 15 matchup versus his old Raiders squad if either or both of his teammates is sidelined for that contest.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Pair of catches in Week 13 loss
Rotowire
Agholor brought in two of three targets for 17 yards and recovered a fumble in the Patriots' 24-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
The veteran wideout tied multiple pass catchers for second on the team in receptions, with younger speedsters Marcus Jones, a cornerback, and Tyquan Thornton notably recording longer catches. Agholor had offered some reason for optimism by flashing with a 6-65-1 line against the Vikings on Thanksgiving Night, but Thursday's production has been much more his norm since Week 5. Agholor's next opportunity to boost his numbers comes in a Week 14 road matchup versus the Cardinals on Monday night, Dec. 12.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Big bump in production Thursday
Rotowire
Agholor brought in six of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 33-26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night.
Agholor came into the game with a meager 3-20 line on six targets over the previous five contests, so his busy and productive night was quite the surprise. The veteran speedster was second in receptions and targets while checking in third in receiving yards, and he recorded his first touchdown since Week 2 on a 34-yard grab in the first quarter that opened the scoring for the Patriots. Agholor's production is likely to remain volatile from week to week, but his first chance to follow up Thursday's effort comes in a Week 13 home matchup next Thursday night against the Bills.

Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Records 21 snaps Sunday
Rotowire
Agholor was on the field for 21 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Agholor, who wasn't targeted in the contest, was out-snapped Sunday by Jakobi Meyers (51), Kendrick Bourne (48) and Tyquan Thornton (42). With just one catch in his last four games, Agholor doesn't currently merit fantasy lineup consideration.
