The 10 Most Efficient Wide Receivers in 2017

9. Nelson Agholor, Philadelphia Eagles

95 Targets, 62 Receptions, 768 Yards, 8 Touchdowns

0.50 Target NEP per target

Nelson Agholor was taken in the same round of the NFL draft as Breshad Perriman in 2015. While the past season was a historical disaster for Perriman, Agholor began to look like the playmaker the Philadelphia Eagles hoped they'd be getting.

After 59 receptions for 648 yards with just 3 touchdowns in his first two seasons, Agholor outperformed all those numbers in 2017 alone. He did not post consistently dominant performances -- only six games of 55 yards or more -- but did reel in at least 66.7% of his receptions in nine games. The wideout was almost unique in remaining efficient after Nick Foles took over under center, too. In Foles' three starts, caught 14 of his 19 targets for 105 yards.

All five Eagles pass catchers who saw at least 30 targets posted positive Target NEP per target, ranging from Torrey Smith with 0.14 to pending free agent Trey Burton with 0.71. It is fair to say that most of this was possible thanks to the play of Carson Wentz, whose 0.25 Passing NEP per drop back ranked third overall.
