5. Nelson Agholor

Believe it or not, Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles have the third-best offense in the NFL in terms of yardage (behind only the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs).

While the running game has been their bread and butter (143 yards per game – good for third in the league), their passing game (249.5 yards per) is extremely strong too, and good for 11th in the NFL. The yards are there for Philly’s playmakers.

After a strong start in Week 1 where Nelson Agholor caught six balls for 86 yards including a 58-yard bomb for a score from Wentz, the third-year receiver has been quiet. He had one catch against Kansas City, two against New York and three against Los Angeles – do you see the pattern here? This week, while Alshon Jeffery is matched up against Patrick Peterson, Agholor should see space to roam.

The Arizona Cardinals, while the seventh overall defense in terms of yardage, have given up the 13th-most points in the league. They will be tough to beat, but at home, the Eagles should at least be able to put up some yardage and score against them.
