Who Should I Start? DeVante Parker or K.J. Osborn

Friday, September 29, 10:04 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker is difficult to trust in fantasy football ahead of his Week 4 clash against the Dallas Cowboys. For starters, Dallas has a strong defense that could impose its will against New England on Sunday. Additionally, although Parker played 76 percent of offensive snaps last week, he caught just two passes for 19 yards. Perhaps his poor production can be blamed on rainy conditions, but other potential explanations also exist. It's incredibly possible that no Patriots wide receiver can be trusted in fantasy football, as has been the case in years past. If you're rostering Parker, leave him on the bench this Sunday.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn brought in 3-of-6 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old got free in the flat for a nice 18-yard gain in the second quarter to push Minnesota over midfield. Osborn later committed a costly forth-quarter drop, but atoned for it by coming wide open for a 10-yard score later in that series to close the gap, making it a one-score game. It's worth noting he started the next drive with another drop, though. Osborn out-snapped rising rookie Jordan Addison 56-40, but the 2023 first-rounder is clearly threatening for more action after scoring another touchdown in this one. Despite the decent line, Osborn is an uninspiring Week 3 FLEX option when Minnesota takes on the visiting Los Angeles Chargers.
