Nelson Agholor signing with Ravens for a season
What it means:
The Baltimore Ravens and wide receiver Nelson Agholor have agreed to terms on a one-year contract.
The deal is reportedly for $3.25 million, with another $3 million available in incentives. Agholor played in 16 games for the New England Patriots last year and caught 31 passes on 53 targets for 362 yards and 2 touchdowns. He could play a larger role in the Ravens' offense, but it remains to be seen who will be playing quarterback for Baltimore next season.
Agholor averaged 4.3 FanDuel points per game last season and had an average depth of target of 11.4 yards.
The Ravens have signed Agholor to a one-year deal, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
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, but 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).
The Ravens have hosted Agholor on a free agent visit, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
What it means:
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 and Devin Duvernay.
Agholor finished the 2022 season with 31 catches on 53 targets for 362 yards and two TDs in 16 games.
What it means:
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.
What it means:
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 lineup 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.
What it means:
In a game in which the Patriots were with 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.
