Who Should I Start? Casey Washington or Jimmy Horn Jr.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Casey Washington (concussion) did not pass the league's concussion protocol and will be inactive on Sunday against the Vikings. The 24-year-old had his best game in the NFL last week, hauling in three of his six targets for 33 yards, but suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of the contest. The University of Illinois product's six targets were fourth-most on the team and more than veteran Ray-Ray McCloud III's five targets, potentially signaling a changing of the guard for the third wide receiver spot in the Atlanta offense, but it was likely more a product of Darnell Mooney's absence in Week 1 than anything else. With Mooney expected to play in Week 2 but with Washington out, we'll have to see how things shake out in Week 3 in order to get a better feel for Washington's role in this offense. For now, Washington can be left to the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. hasn't made much of an impact on the field in recent weeks. Last week, Horn hauled in one of his two targets for one yard, while rushing the ball once for seven yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. The good news is, Horn saw 24 percent of the offensive snaps during that game. That is the most time Horn has played on offense since his season debut in Week 5. It's possible that Horn does take snaps away from Jalen Coker who has been quiet since making his season debut in Week 7. For now, Horn isn't a viable streaming option, but is someone to watch in dynasty formats.
