Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Jayden Reed

Sunday, November 16, 3:41 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. caught seven of his eight targets for 74 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid. He also logged a three-yard rush. Samuel became the first NFL player to ever score a touchdown in Madrid as the league wrapped up its 2025 international series. The 29-year-old has proven to be a valuable addition for the Commanders, stepping up as the team's No. 1 receiver with Terry McLaurin (quad) enduring an extended absence. Samuel continued to showcase his rapport with Marcus Mariota on Sunday, and he'll remain a high-end WR2 option on the other side of Washington's Week 12 bye.

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reports that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) could return to practice on Wednesday after a two and a half month absence. "I sure as heck hope so," head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday when asked if the team would open anyone's 21-day practice window this week. The Packers will have a better idea about Reed's availability over the next two days. The 25-year-old wideout has been on IR since breaking his collarbone in Week 2, and he's also recovering from surgery on his foot for a Jones fracture. Reed is expected to play again this year, but it's uncertain when that will happen. Even if he returns to practice this week, it won't guarantee his return for a Week 12 divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Reed is rostered in only 35% of Yahoo leagues right now, and he should have a key role in the Packers' offense when he comes back.
