Baltimore Ravens WR Nelson Agholor

If you had absolutely no idea Nelson Agholor was on the Baltimore Ravens, this is your chance to take note.

Back in the day, Agholor was a pretty decent fantasy football asset when he caught 48 passes for 896 yards and eight touchdowns in 2020. The longtime Philadelphia Eagle was a lethal deep threat for Derek Carr, and spent two uneventful years with the New England Patriots afterwards.

Now with the Ravens, Agholor has taken a backseat to 2023 first-round pick Zay Flowers, 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman, and Odell Beckham Jr. Bateman has already missed a lot of time in his short career due to injury and will be out Week 4. To no one's surprise, Beckham will also be out Week 4.

Bateman played in Week 3, but Beckham did not. And, in OBJ's stead, Agholor's route participation jumped from 36 percent in Week 2 to 87 percent in Week 3. His target share actually dropped from 18 percent down to 13 percent last week, but that won't hold weight with Bateman out this week as well.

After dropping a goose egg in Week 1, Agholor has caught eight of nine targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in his last two games, and a Week 4 matchup with Jim Schwartz and the vaunted Cleveland Browns defense spells trouble for the Ravens' offense.

Justice Hill and Gus Edwards have both been banged up, and that will mean a busy day for Agholor and the rest of Baltimore's passing game. Consider the 30-year-old a touchdown-dependent fantasy football flex play for Week 4.
