Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Riley Cooper and Nelson Agholor did not participate in practice on Thursday, according to beat writer Bob Grotz. It’s looking more and more like neither one of them will be able to play against the Carolina Panthers this week.
Riley Cooper, Nelson Agholor both missed practice on Thursday, likely to be on fantasy sidelines

Fantasy impact: While Agholor hasn’t played since going down in Week 5, Cooper was the top performing wide receiver for the Eagles in a win over the New York Giants on Monday. Although he only caught three passes, the receptions accounted for 76 yards and a touchdown score.
That said, neither receiver has been reliable at all this season. It’s a byproduct of both their individual play and the play of the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense as a whole. An educated guess would dictate that since Agholor has been out longer he may be more likely to play, but that is indeed just a guess.
Fantasy owners will likely be without the services of both players, which means that Josh Huff would make a great streaming option against the Panthers this week. Huff caught just three passes for 19 yards in limited action against the Giants.
