NELSON AGHOLOR NEWS

Catches TD in Week 7 Agholor was on the field for 43 of a possible 76 snaps on offense in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the process, Agholor caught two of his five targets for 51 yards and a TD, which was thrown to him by fellow wideout Kendrick Bourne. Since catching five passes for 72 yards and a score in Week 1, Agholor's production has been relatively modest, as he's topped out at three catches and 55 receiving yards since then. Until he starts clicking with QB Mac Jones on big plays on a more consistent basis, Agholor will continue to profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy candidate.

Held to one catch Sunday Agholor caught one of his three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Agholor, who logged 32 of a possible 54 snaps on offense Sunday, has seen his production stall following the 5-72-1 stat line he recorded in the Patriots' season opener. It remains to be seen if the wideout's costly drop in overtime versus Dallas is reflected in his playing time this coming Sunday against the Jets, but until the 2015 first-rounder starts making big plays on a consistent basis, he'll be a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Impact After hauling in five passes for 72 yards in Week 1, Agholor has recorded three catches in three of his last four outings. Jakobi Meyers, who has 31 catches to date, remains the Patriots' top WR from a fantasy perspective, while Agholor and Kendrick Bourne (three catches for 26 yards Sunday) are producing at a rate that limits their utility to deeper formats.

Impact Meanwhile, Jakobi Meyers logged 56 snaps, Kendrick Bourne was out there for 36 plays, and N'Keal Harry recorded 15 snaps in his season debut. Four games into the 2021 season, Agholor has caught 13 of his 23 targets for 165 yards and a TD, numbers that give him modest utility in deeper fantasy formats. The offseason free-agent acquisition will look to take advantage of a what looks like a favorable matchup Week 5 when the Patriots face the Texans, who have dropped three straight, including a 40-0 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Logs two catches in Week 3 Agholor caught two of his eight targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints.

Impact Agholor, who was on the field for 58 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in the contest, continues to see steady playing time, but he's posted back-to-back modest fantasy efforts after recording a 5-72-1 stat line in the Patriots' season opener. Through three games, Jakobi Meyers, who has recorded 19 catches for 176 yards, has paced the team's WR corps, with both Agholor and Kendrick Bourne (six catches on eight targets for 96 yards Sunday) currently profiling as hit-or-miss fantasy options.

Impact Meanwhile, Jakobi Meyers logged 52 snaps and six targets, and Kendrick Bourne was out there for 31 plays and was targeted three times. With RB James White and TEs Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry also commanding regular targets, Agholor's weekly volume figures to fluctuate in an offense that tends to spread the ball around to multiple targets. That said, it's pretty clear that Agholor is destined for steady playing time this season, health permitting.

Posts 72 yards, scores Agholor recorded five receptions on seven targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Agholor finished tied for second on the team with seven targets, but he was by far the most efficient pass-catcher. He displayed a diverse skillset, recording short and mid-range receptions over the middle of the field while also racking up a 25-yard catch as a deep target. He highlighted the performance with a seven-yard touchdown reception late in the second quarter, which gave the Patriots a brief lead. This opening performance bodes well for Agholor moving forward, as he showcased immediate rapport with rookie quarterback Mac Jones.

Suits up Sunday Agholor (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins.

Impact Agholor is thus in line to be part of a Week 1 WR corps that also features Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne. However, with rookie signal-caller Mac Jones at the helm, it's not hard to imagine the Patriots employing a run-heavy attack early on this season, with tight ends Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry candidates to be very active in the passing game. Steady volume therefore could be an issue for Agholor, who joined the team as a free agent in March.

Impact Agholor didn't practice Thursday, so his return to the field Friday bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If, however, the offseason acquisition is limited or out this weekend, added looks would be available for fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne.

Impact It remains to be seen if Agholor is managing a previous issue, or tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's practice, but for now consider the projected starting wideout day-to-day as Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins approaches. If available, Agholor is poised to be a key cog in the Patriots' passing attack Week 1, along with fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne, as well as TEs Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry.
