Who Should I Start? DeAndre Carter or Ryan Flournoy

Sunday, September 21, 12:32 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver DeAndre Carter (concussion) and kicker Andre Szmyt (calf) are both active and ready to go for Week 3's matchup against the Packers. Carter had to leave last week's game with a concussion, and Szmyt popped up on the injury report on Friday with a calf injury. He underwent an MRI, but everything looked good, so he's available as an emergency option at the position if needed. Carter has not played an offensive snap yet for the Browns, but he is an important special teams contributor, and he should be back in that role on Sunday after clearing the concussion protocol.

Dallas Cowboys second-year wide receiver Ryan Flournoy went off for six catches and 114 yards on nine targets in the Week 5 win over the New York Jets with both CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) sidelined. However, he was unable to maintain that momentum in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers, securing only three of six targets for 30 receiving yards. Flournoy was a short-term waiver-wire option with both Lamb and Turpin injured, but it looks like that window could be closing, with both Lamb and Turpin returning to practice and potentially the field this Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Quarterback Dak Prescott could prefer Flournoy over Jalen Tolbert in the passing game, but Flournoy won't be a realistic deep-league streaming option in Week 7 if both Lamb and Turpin are back in action.
