Raiders think WR Nelson Agholor could play major role in passing game

Aug 25, 2020

Nelson Agholor is getting a second chance in the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders -- another opportunity to prove he still has the first-round talent the Philadelphia Eagles saw when they drafted him five years ago. While Agholor's career was full of highs and lows in Philadelphia, he's back on the West Coast in Vegas and fighting for a role in the Raiders offense. Judging by the early reviews in training camp practices, the Raiders expect Agholor to play a vital role in the passing game this year.

Fantasy Impact:

While a major role may not equal a fantasy-worthy role, the story said Agholor signed a one-year deal with the Raiders and he will be battling for the No. 4 wide receiver role with Zay Jones and 2020 third-round pick Bryan Edwards.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
