Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Keep sleeping on Agholor, but do so at your own risk. Sure, the Week 8 performance couldn't have been worse (0.0 PPR points, two targets... in 56 snaps), but every Raider/Brown gets a pass as the weather was just atrocious. Other than that, Agholor has posted at least 13.5 PPR points in his other last four games going back to Week 4. Sounds good for a guy available in more than three out of four Yahoo! leagues, doesn't it?

If you look up "efficiency" in the dictionary, it will come back to you with Agholor's picture. The WR has caught 17 of 23 targets in non-Browns games good for a 73.9% catch rate. That is not mind-blowing, but his combined 347 yards in those 17 receptions sure are, giving him an average of 20.4 Y/R. That mark leads every WR with 25+ targets by a mile (Justin Jefferson is 2nd with 18.4 Y/R), and the best of all is that Agholor has scored 5 TDs already.

Agholor is the only skill-position player with five scores in 25 or fewer targets. That might mean negative regression is coming, or just paint the picture of an über-efficient player thriving in a low-volume offense. I'd take the second option, thank you.

Las Vegas lacks true playmakers, and although the volume will stay low for these receiving corps (Agholor has been targeted 4+ times just twice this season) they should keep scoring relatively nice fantasy-point tallies going forward. The Raiders go against the 22nd, 29th, and 24th-worst defenses at preventing points from WRs in three of their next four games.

The schedule and lack of top-tier studs in the offense make Agholor a very palatable WW-target for every deeper fantasy GM out there. Great weekly FLEX play with WR2 upside.
