Nelson Agholor flashes fancy footwork in Eagles’ win.

Agholor caught four passes for 93 yards and a touchdown, which most people have probably seen by now. The former first-round pick got behind the defense and made a great reaching catch, and then was able to juke and spin his way from safety Budda Baker as he maneuvered along the sideline for a 72-yard score. Gaining confidence by the week, Agholor now has three touchdowns on the year, and he’s proving all the people in Philadelphia who doubted him wrong. The Eagles should give him more targets, but he’s making the most of them in 2017. He’ll try to keep it up against Carolina on Thursday night.

Kenny Britt (knee) is officially questionable for Week 6.

Though Kevin Hogan at quarterback should help things, Britt is extremely difficult to trust in fantasy lineups even if he is active on Sunday versus Houston.

The Vikings are likely sticking with a hot-hand approach at running back.

Latavius Murray was expected to get most of the carries, but Jerick McKinnon was running very well on Monday night against Chicago and ended up 22 touches (16 carries) in the game. Murray expects “the hot hand thing” will definitely continue and doesn’t think it’ll change. This could be a near-50/50 committee where each of them have some big weeks this season, and there should be enough touches to go around for both of them in the backfield. Murray also says he believes he is 100%, though he said a couple weeks ago he didn’t feel he was. Both players are FLEX options against Green Bay this week.

Corey Clement rushed seven times for 17 yards in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.

He also caught a 22-yard pass. The undrafted rookie has looked really good to start his career, and he is contributing both offensively and on special teams. Clement would probably need a LeGarrette Blount injury to be worth a pickup in fantasy leagues, though. The Eagles face the Panthers on Thursday night.

Paul Perkins (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday night.

Perkins is still dealing with his rib injury from a couple weeks ago. Orleans Darkwa and rookie Wayne Gallman will carry most of the rushing load, with Shane Vereen working in on passing downs versus Denver.

Kenjon Barner flashes potential in Week 5 win.

Barner rushed five times for 23 yards in his first game of the season with the Eagles (he started the season on the Chargers practice squad), but the highlight was a 76-yard punt return that he nearly took to the house. Barner got his chance will Wendell Smallwood injured, and he could be active every week with his performance on Sunday. He’s a real-life contributor, but you can probably ignore him for fantasy purposes.
