Who Should I Start? Charlie Jones or Ryan Flournoy

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (ribs) is off the injury report heading into Sunday's game against the New York Jets. The wideout has been banged up all year, so his presence on the injury report isn't anything new. However, he hasn't done much for managers all season, logging only four offensive snaps, leaving him irrelevant for fantasy purposes. That's not expected to change anytime soon, with Jones in line to see the most action as a member of the special teams unit.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy is considered a low-end desperation FLEX play in all standard leagues in Week 15. Flournoy saw his fantasy stock climb in Week 14 when he took on a larger role with CeeDee Lamb (concussion) exiting early with a concussion. In his absence, Flournoy slid in as the team's No. 2 WR opposite of George Pickens and was quite productive, catching nine of his 13 targets for 115 yards and a score. However, with Lamb cleared to return, Flournoy quickly reverts to the No. 3 spot on the WR depth chart, and No. 4 option in the passing game, behind tight Jake Ferguson. During Weeks 11 through 13, with a full complement of Dallas pass catchers in the lineup, Flournoy brought in just four of his five targets for 36 yards and a score. Even if Ferguson (calf) were to face a setback and not suit up, Flournoy would still carry desperation low-end FLEX value in deeper 14-team formats, given his placement on the depth chart. Flournoy has yet to carve out reliable targets with both Lamb and Pickens on the field, and his matchup against the elite Minnesota secondary makes him a high-risk fantasy option.
