Who Should I Start? Deven Thompkins or Demario Douglas

The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms on a deal with wide receiver Devin Thompkins. The 24-year-old spent the first two seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was waived by the team in late May after finishing with 22 receptions in 22 games with the team. Thompkins was often times used as the No. 4 or even 5th option on the depth chart. He didn't get a ton of chances, so maybe he'll see an increased workload in Carolina. He'll rejoin coach Dave Canales who was with the Bucs last season. Maybe Canales can unlock something we haven't seen from Thompkins.

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas has been a massive disappointment this fantasy football season and should be avoided in fantasy leagues until further notice. That includes this week when the Patriots play the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. Douglas has just two catches this year, and he was out-snapped by both K.J. Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk last Sunday. With his role apparently shrinking and passing volume coming at a premium in this Patriots offense, Douglas is avoidable in just about every fantasy league. He belongs on the bench or even on waivers for Week 3 against the Jets.
