Golladay or Agholor at Flex

Recommended Posts

I feel a little more secure about where Agholor sits in the PHI pecking order for this week but, on the other hand, feel that Golladay could deliver a more explosive performance.

 

Agholor did better in the slot in 2017 than he did on the perimeter the two years prior but the Colts best DB operates in the slot too. While Mike Wallace is out and Alshon Jeffery is unlikely to play, the just-signed Jordan Matthews may receive some snaps at slot and possibly push Agholor back out to the perimeter where he's not as comfortable. In addition, Wentz will be back, and while he's a superior QB to Foles, he might be a bit rusty and any chemistry he had with Agholor last year may not have had time yet to be re-established. So i just have some niggling uncertainty in regards to Agholor, who certainly did me good last week..

 

While Agholor is the WR22 facing a fairly stingy Colts defense at 26th against WRs, Golladay is the WR14 facing a more generous Patriots defense at 12th against WRs. The Lions are likely to be behind for a good portion of this game and the Pats haven't been generating much pressure on the QB, so Stafford is likely to have time to throw. My concern here is that he's got two other veteran targets to throw to in Tate and Jones and one never knows how things might shake out in a particular game so that Stafford might be favoring Tate or Jones over Golladay.

 

So there it is....help me cut through this haze and make a decisive call.

 

(I should point out that I'll be starting Beckham, Diggs, and Smith-Schuster, so i don't have any wiggle room elsewhere.)

I like Agholor a lot this week in DFS, but The Wentz variable would likely have me play the more stable situation in a likely Game-Script friendly game in Detroit, so give me Golladay.

I would go Golladay, I like his matchup more.

I would want to see the chemistry between Wentz and Agholor, before I start either.

M Jones might not play nd if he does he his listed questionable.

 

Just saw that the Pats will be without two dbs.

 

Golladay.
