Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Jayden Reed

Wednesday, November 26, 9:49 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't made a fantasy impact since the first two weeks of the season, and Week 12 wasn't any different. Despite seeing a couple more targets over the last few weeks, Hopkins still finished with only two or three fantasy points in half-PPR formats. Despite the fact that he's going up against a porous defense in the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving, he still projects outside the top 60. To make matters worse, Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially set to return, so he'll likely see fewer targets. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for some upside if wide receiver help is needed.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) won't play on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions, but there's a solid chance that he will be able to return in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. Reed has been sidelined since Week 2 after suffering a broken collarbone and was listed as limited in practice every day this week. Head coach Matt LaFleur kept the possibility of the 25-year-old returning on Thursday on the table before he was eventually ruled out, and there's hope that he will be activated from injured reserve soon. In the meantime, Reed remains a strong stash option for fantasy managers as he could return to a prominent role in Green Bay's passing attack alongside Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.
