Nelson Agholor struggles in loss to the Titans.

Agholor caught five passes for 22 yards, but he had at least two balls that should have been caught, including a chunk play over the middle. It’s worth noting that Nick Foles probably throws an easier ball to catch than Carson Wentz does, so we might be seeing an adjustment period for Agholor with the Eagles’ franchise quarterback under center again. After a solid start, Agholor has slowed down over the past two weeks and is on pace for 100 receptions for 668 yards and four scores through four games. He is probably best viewed as a FLEX option for Week 5 against the Vikings.

Jordan Matthews scores 56-yard touchdown in loss to the Titans.

It was his only reception of the game, as the veteran simply ran past Malcolm Butler and Carson Wentz hit him in stride for six. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough for Philly to avoid an overtime loss, but they return home in Week 5 to face the struggling Vikings. Matthews probably isn’t a reliable fantasy option behind Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffery, and Nelson Agholor.

Alshon Jeffery impresses in season debut, but Eagles fall to Titans, 26-23.

After sitting out the first three games of the season as he recovered from shoulder surgery, Jeffery returned to catch eight receptions for 105 yards and one touchdown, which came on a jump ball from 16 yards away in the third quarter. Alshon was apparently questionable on Sunday morning with an illness more than the shoulder, but he looked great and is immediately back on the WR2 radar. Next week, Jeffery gets a Vikings defense that just allowed all three Rams receivers to go for 100+ yards and a score, and he caught five passes for 85 yards and two touchdowns against them in January.

Zach Ertz leads team in receiving, but Eagles fall to the Titans in overtime.

Ertz caught ten passes for 112 yards in the 26-23 loss. It was the second time this season that Philly’s tight end has gone for double-digit receptions, but he’s yet to find the end zone. Ertz, who through four weeks is on pace for 124 catches and 1,308 yards, will look to keep it up against the Vikings next Sunday and remains a clear top-three play at tight end.

Mo Alie-Cox catches first career pass against the Texans.

Alie-Cox was promoted from Indy’s practice squad for this Week 4 matchup, and the six-foot-six former VCU college basketball player caught one pass for 17 yards. Alie-Cox is an intriguing prospect for the Colts, but he’s not on the fantasy radar at the moment.

Marcus Johnson catches two passes against the Texans.

Johnson gained 24 yards on his two receptions in the Week 5 loss. Johnson is just a dynasty-league option for now.

Eric Ebron scores in Colts’ loss.

Ebron was targeted ten times against the Texans, catching five passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown was on a bit of a quick snap where Andrew Luck gave Ebron an opportunity on a jump ball with a couple of defenders in the area. This makes three touchdowns in the first four games of Ebron’s Colts career, as Luck has liked targeting him in the red zone. Ebron is currently on pace for a 68/600/12 line through four games this season, and he’s a TE1 option in Week 5 with Jack Doyle (hip) likely to miss another game on a short week.
