Eagles WR Jordan Matthews (ankle) is inactive for today’s game against the Bengals. That leaves Dorial Green-Beckham as Philly’s #1 WR — and a viable WR3 in fantasy lineups. Nelson Agholor, who was a healthy scratch last week, is active today.

The Eagles aren't expecting WR Jordan Matthews (ankle) to play against the Bengals today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That'd leave Dorial Green-Beckham as Philly's #1 WR -- and a lower-end WR3 for fantasy football. Matthews' absence would likely get WR Nelson Agholor back on the active roster, but he can't be trusted in lineups.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor is a healthy scratch for tonight's game against the Packers. Last year's 1st-round pick has struggled mightily this season -- so much so that he's seen a sports psychologist. He's obviously well off the redraft radar, and his dynasty stock has taken a significant hit. Rookie WR Bryce Treggs was announced as Philly's starter alongside Jordan Matthews for tonight. Dorial Green-Beckham and rookie Paul Turner will also see action, but Matthews is the only viable fantasy option.

On the same day they cut WR Chris Givens, the Eagles also parted ways with WR Rueben Randle. It's a less surprising move after the team traded for WR Dorial Green-Beckham, yet it's also worth remembering that we're talking about a 25-year-old, 6'2 former 2nd-round pick at 1 of the league's highest-value positions. Randle just signed a 1-year deal with Philly in free agency this offseason and seems close to totally squandering his chance at an NFL career. His and Givens' departures at least clear some room for fellow disappointing WRs Nelson Agholor and DGB.

Eagles insider Jeff McLane writes that the "greatest indictment" of the team's trade for WR Dorial Green-Beckham was against WR Nelson Agholor. The 2015 1st-rounder has failed to take a noticeable step forward in his 2nd offseason, struggling to "catch balls, create separation, and run consistent routes." McLane also points out that Agholor was a Chip Kelly draft pick, so he might not have a long leash with the current regime. Green-Beckham is certainly a threat to Agholor's starting job. We're not excited to draft either guy in fantasy right now.

The Titans on Tuesday morning traded WR Dorial Green-Beckham to the Eagles for swing O-lineman Dennis Kelly. This is the biggest statement to date against DGB's work ethic, which has been questioned and called out by Tennessee all offseason. If he finally gets his stuff together, though, he'll find a wide-open WR situation in Philly. The Eagles obviously remain unhappy with Nelson Agholor's development and couldn't have been impressed with Rueben Randle's preseason debut against the Bucs. Jordan Matthews, meanwhile, remains out with a knee bruise. Green-Beckham remains a hold in dynasty leagues, but you shouldn't be any more excited about his 2016 outlook today than you were yesterday. Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe, meanwhile, gain safety as late-round fantasy football draft picks without the spectre of DGB's talent looming.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor "hasn't come anywhere close" to stepping up and taking control of the #2 WR job so far this offseason, according to insider Eliot Shorr-Parks. "The issues with drops that plagued him last year continued into OTAs," Shorr-Parks says. That's on top of the strip club incident that got Agholor accused of sexual assault. Shorr-Parks predicts that Reuben Randle will win the team's #2 WR job. We'll track the battle through training camp, although neither Agholor nor Randle is a good bet for reliable fantasy value.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor won't face charges after being accused of sexual assault by a stripper, according to the Philadelphia Enquirer's Les Bowen. That should mean Agholor also avoids an NFL suspension. He'll head to training camp as the favorite for #2 WR duties, behind Jordan Matthews and ahead of Rueben Randle, Chris Givens and Josh Huff.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor has been accused of sexual assault by an exotic dancer.  The alleged incident occurred on Thursday afternoon, shortly after the team wrapped up its final spring practice.  No charges have been filed at this time.  We'll continue to monitor the situation.

The Eagles have signed WR Rueben Randle to a 1-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.  Randle was met with a cold free-agent market after a mostly frustrating 4 years with the Giants.  But he's still only 24 and is coming off a 2015 season that saw him set career highs with 8 TDs and a 63% catch rate.  Randle actually scored more PPR points per target than Odell Beckham last year.  He's a fine flier for Philadelphia, where he'll compete with Nelson Agholor for #2 WR duties behind Jordan Matthews.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Dolphins. It’ll be the rookie’s 1st action since Week 5. He’s yet to top 3 catches in a game and can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor (ankle) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. He was close to playing last week, but HC Chip Kelly opted to hold the rookie out. Agholor should play this weekend but can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups. He’s yet to top 3 catches in a game.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s matchup with the Cowboys. That makes 3 straight absences for the underperforming rookie. He’ll look to return for a Week 10 game against Miami.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. He practiced all week, though, and should play. The rookie has yet to top 3 catches in a game this year and can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups. We’ll see if his volume grows coming out of the bye.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the Panthers. He’s dealing with a high-ankle sprain and isn’t a lock to be ready after Philly’s Week 8 bye. WR Riley Cooper (knee) is listed as questionable. He put in a full practice on Friday, though, and should play vs. Carolina.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Giants.  He actually returned to a limited practice on Saturday, which suggests that he'll be back for Week 7.  Insider Jimmy Kempski expects WR Josh Huff to get the start in Agholor's place this week, but WRs Riley Cooper and Miles Austin could also see bumps in playing time.  None of them are reliable fantasy plays.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor (shin) did not practice on Thursday.  He never returned to last weekend's game and looks iffy for Monday night's tilt with the Giants.  Agholor's absence would mean more action for WR Josh Huff, but he can't be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor suffered what he called a shin injury in Sunday’s win over the Saints. The rookie doesn’t believe it’s serious, but we should learn more tomorrow. Agholor shouldn’t be in Week 6 fantasy lineups regardless.
