Who Should I Start? Andre Baccellia or Jared Wayne

Sunday, December 14, 2:54 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andre Baccellia (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans due to a neck injury. ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reports that the 28-year-old has full movement of all his extremities and is headed to a Houston hospital for further evaluation. Baccellia did not earn a target or a reception before exiting the game. The Cardinals entered the week already missing wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel), Xavier Weaver (hamstring), and Greg Dortch (chest), so the team is now even more short-handed at the position. Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride will likely continue to dominate from a target perspective, while wideouts Jalen Brooks and Trent Sherfield Sr. could both see more playing time.

After releasing wide receiver Diontae Johnson on Tuesday, the Houston Texans promoted wide receiver Jared Wayne from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Wednesday ahead of their Divisional Round game this Saturday on the road in Kansas City against the two-time defending Super Bowl-champion Chiefs. Wayne has only been active for the Texans three times during the 2024 season and hasn't seen a single target in the passing game while playing on only 40 offensive snaps. He has had a bigger role on special teams when active, which is likely to be the case again this weekend, which means fantasy managers setting DFS lineups should look to avoid Wayne as a deep sleeper. With Johnson out of the picture now, Xavier Hutchinson and veteran Robert Woods (hip) could see more playing time behind Nico Collins and John Metchie III.
