Who Should I Start? Craig Reynolds or J.J. Taylor

Tuesday, October 31, 9:24 AM

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds rushed 14 times for 74 yards and caught his only targets for 12 yards in the Week 8 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Reynolds has found extra work in the absence of David Montgomery (ribs), but that could be coming to an end after the team's Week 9 bye. Assuming Montgomery can return in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Reynolds will be safe to drop to the waiver wire moving forward. In super deep leagues, Reynolds can continue to be stashed.

New England Patriots running back J.J. Taylor had one carry for three yards and one catch for 10 yards in Friday's 23-7 preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. He briefly appeared in Friday's game while Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris handled most of the touches. The 25-year-old is competing with Harris, Strong, and Ty Montgomery for a spot on the Patriots running back depth chart behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott. He had 10 carries for nine yards and caught his only target for eight yards in his only game for the Patriots in 2022. Taylor is fighting for a spot on New England's 53-man roster but is far from being fantasy-relevant in 2023.
