Who Should I Start? DeVante Parker or Josh Reynolds

Friday, September 22, 12:29 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) remained limited in practice Thursday, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site. The 30-year-old is likely having his reps managed after his 2023 debut was delayed until Week 2 due to a knee injury. Parker looked no worse for wear in that one, tallying six receptions on eight targets for 57 yards as an every-down player. The veteran wideout is likely to be fine for Week 3's divisional tilt against the New York Jets, and might already be pushing JuJu Smith-Schuster for quarterback Mac Jones' attention. Even assuming Parker gets the green light for Sunday, he may not be an exciting fantasy play in what could be a slow-paced defensive slog.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (groin), who had been listed as questionable, will be active for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 28-year-old has played a key role in Detroit's passing attack this season, totaling nine catches, 146 yards, and two touchdowns through just two weeks of action. Fantasy managers in need of help at WR/FLEX should feel comfortable playing Reynolds, especially amidst speculation that teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) might not be 100 percent healthy.
