Nelson Agholor In Line For Expanded Role
2 years agoNew England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor is expected to see more snaps in Week 14 after Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was ruled out. Agholor joins DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, and Tyquan Thornton in the group of wideouts who should command a portion of Meyers' targets against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. Given the way the Patriots' offense has operated, it's unclear whether any of the receivers will be fantasy relevant, and if so, which ones. Still, Agholor has a chance to exceed projections given his increased role, ability to catch deep passes and make big plays, and favorable matchup. After all, on a per-game basis, the Cardinals have allowed the second-most red-zone fantasy points to wide receivers (8.2), sixth-most touchdowns to wide receivers (1.0), 10th-most receiving yards to wide receivers (142.8), and 11th-most receptions to wide receivers (12.8). While you shouldn't rush to snag Agholor off waivers, he's certainly an intriguing option if you're in deeper leagues and need a last-minute plug-and-play.
