Who Should I Start? Charlie Jones or Austin Trammell

Thursday, November 16, 7:13 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals officially activated wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will be active for Thursday Night Football against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals also elevated receiver Shedrick Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster with Tee Higgins (hamstring) missing a second straight game. Jones had been on IR since Sept. 29. The 25-year-old will merely provide receiver depth behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin with rookie Andrei Iosivas (knee) also unavailable due to injury. Jones caught one pass for six yards in his first three NFL games before getting hurt.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Austin Trammell led the team in receiving in a 20-7 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Trammell shined the most in a two-minute drill at the end of the first half, where he caught two passes for 49 yards, which accounted for all 49 yards on the drive, leading to a field goal as time expired. He finished with four catches for 75 yards and contributed a bit as a punt returner. Trammell is 26 years old and entering his fourth year in the league. His main value is on special teams, but he showed he could contribute as a receiver in this game. Trammell has a lot of talent in front of him before he can get on the field and provide fantasy value, but any receiving production he provides in preseason should help his odds of making the 53-man roster.
