Coming into the 2017 season, you’d have been hard pressed to find a bigger bust from the 2015 NFL Draft than Nelson Agholor.

Between getting benched multiple times, dangled on the trade market for scraps, or being called the Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest bust of the past five years, there was a better chance of the Eagles cutting Agholor this year than him becoming a featured weapon in their offense.

To everyone’s surprise, the latter is what’s transpired, as Agholor has become one of the top fantasy receivers of the young season. He ranks third in fantasy points scored among receivers over the last three weeks, and he’s caught a touchdown in five of his first seven games.

Now, let’s take a look at our rankings for the top 50 wide receivers in standard leagues for Week 8.
