Philadelphia Eagles second-year wide receiver Nelson Agholor is reportedly struggling with catching passes and running routes during practice this summer, according to beat writer Jeff McLane. For a receiver, both of those are essential in achieving success so there should be some concern.

Agholor was the Eagles’ first round pick in 2015 and is trying to adjust to a new head coach in Doug Pederson. The young receiver was a better fit for the offense ran by Philadelphia’s former coach, Chip Kelly.
Fantasy impact: In 2015, Agholor’s first season in the NFL was nothing to rave about. A final stat line of 23 catches for 283 yards and one touchdown seems a bit low for a player who was drafted in the first round.
With the Eagles just trading for Dorial Green-Beckham, it is clear that the team is not happy with the performance of Agholor or any of their current receivers. For a player who had a fifth-round ADP in 2015, Agholor will be lucky if he is drafted by any fantasy owners before the start of the 2016 season.
