Agholor is not currently a starter on the still-early depth chart listing for the Eagles, playing behind Riley Cooper and Josh Huff. However, the first-round investment the team made in the USC standout, as well as his sparkling reviews in camp indicate the rookie will leapfrog the competition and contribute sooner than later.
Fantasy Spin: McLane's opinion aligns with many fantasy owners, who have been drafting Agholor in the sixth round as a high-end WR3. Chip Kelly's offense has been productive as long as he's been in the NFL, and someone will have to pick up the slack now that Jeremy Maclin is out of town.
While the sixth-round ADP may be a bit aggressive for Agholor in redraft leagues, he remains a premier selection for dynasty formats. It will likely be a neck-and-neck competition between him and Amari Cooper for the title of most productive rookie wide receiver in 2015.
