Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Gabriel Davis

Sunday, October 6, 2:25 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard caught four of his 10 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in a 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Lazard finished second on the team in targets while hauling in his fourth receiving touchdown of the season as the Jets threw 54 times against a leaky Vikings secondary in the loss. The veteran wideout has emerged as one of Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets this season while playing a secondary role beside Garrett Wilson. Lazard remains on the map as a decent flex play in fantasy as the Jets will now gear up to take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 6's Monday night game.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Davis should be just fine to play this Sunday in Week 6 in London against the Chicago Bears, but he won't be recommended in starting fantasy lineups, especially if tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) returns for the first time since Week 1. He played the most snaps among the team's wideouts in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, but it led to only three receptions (four targets) for 38 yards. The former Buffalo Bills wideout has yet to find the end zone in his first year in Jacksonville in 2024 and is outside the top 50 at the position in total fantasy points through the first five weeks. The Bears defense has also allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this year. Davis belong on benches or the waiver wire in Week 6.
