More valuable....Alshon or Agholor?

Just curious since Elliot Shorr-Parks says Agholor is their top receiver. Stats are comparable.

Obviously I disagree. And yes I am an idiot for reading ESP.

alshon. and it's really not close. agholor was one of the most improved players in the NFL this season, and is better at what he does than alshon is at what he does. but agholor is a slot receiver. he benefits from having alshon and smith (can't catch, but can run) on the outside. agholor had better PFF-type stats than alshon. higher catch percentage, higher passer rating when thrown to...alshon wasn't very good by these metrics. but the dude is a physical freak that commands respect when he's on the field. defenses have to game plan for alshon. not sure if that's the case with agholor.

I think Agholor does more after the catch, but he’s a product of having Alshon out there with him.
