Tears off 85-yard fourth-quarter TD Agholor reeled in five of six targets for 155 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Agholor's explosive 85-yard TD provided Las Vegas with a six-point lead at the 3:37 mark of the fourth quarter, before Daniel Carlson failed on the subsequent point-after try. The 27-year-old wideout has been revitalized in his debut campaign with the Raiders, surpassing a previous career high Saturday by pushing his season-long receiving total to 839 yards. A Week 16 receiving score pulls Agholor even to his personal best of eight as Las Vegas enters its season finale against the Broncos' 10th-ranked pass defense. The fact that Agholor has attracted six-plus targets in six straight games promotes him as a high-floor option.

Carr works through progression to find Agholor for 22-yard gain Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr works through his progression to find Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor for a 22-yard gain.

DECEMBER 27, 2020 • NFL.COM

Four-catch night in defeat Agholor brought in four of eight targets for 49 yards in the Raiders' 30-27 overtime loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.

Impact The speedy wideout fought through what appeared to be a pinkie finger dislocation at one point to check in as a distant second to Darren Waller in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the Raiders for the night. Agholor's downturn after a 100-yard effort versus the Colts in Week 14 represented some unfortunate timing for fantasy managers with him on their postseason rosters, but Agholor has at least continued to be a serviceable option in full PPR formats most weeks. Thursday marked his fifth straight game with at least four catches. He'll look to up his overall production at the expense of the Dolphins in a Saturday night Week 16 matchup on Dec. 26.

Scores seventh touchdown Agholor caught five of nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.

Impact Agholor led the team in receiving yardage while finishing second in targets and catches. He scored a 21-yard touchdown in the second quarter to bring him within one of his career high of eight in a single season. Agholor's production has varied a bit from week to week, but he's averaged 5.0 catches and 70 yards per game over the last four heading into Thursday's matchup with the Chargers.

Does little with 11 targets Agholor caught four of 11 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

Impact Perhaps still bothered by the ankle injury that limited his practice reps this week, Agholor finished second on the team in targets but fourth in yards. He has 15 catches in the last three games after totaling 18 grabs over the first nine, so Agholor's role has expanded recently heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Colts.

Suiting up Sunday Agholor (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Agholor was limited Friday after having missed the first two practices of the week, but it doesn't appear as though his availability for Week 13 was ever in serious jeopardy. He's recorded 205 yards over Las Vegas' last four games while working as one of Derek Carr's top weapons.

Another missed practicce Agholor (ankle) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Agholor has now missed two consecutive practices due to an ankle injury, so it appears as though his availability for Sunday's road matchup against the Jets could be in legitimate jeopardy. The extent of Agholor's participation in Friday's final session of the week will likely be telling as to his chances of suiting up. Henry Ruggs, Hunter Renfrow, Bryan Edwards and Zay Jones will all stands to handle increased roles if Agholor misses time.

Raiders look to get offense going after dud vs. Falcons

The run game was throttled, the protection was shoddy and Derek Carr gave the ball away with uncharacteristic frequency

DECEMBER 2, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Not practicing Wednesday Agholor didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Impact The injury is a new concern for Agholor, who played 42 of the Raiders' 63 offensive snaps in Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Falcons, finishing with five receptions for 54 yards. Thursday's practice report should provide a better indication if Agholor's absence Wednesday was maintenance-related, or if the ankle issue is something that truly puts his status for this weekend's game versus the Jets in jeopardy.
