Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Jayden Reed

Tuesday, November 11, 3:38 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown cleared the league's concussion protocol and was given the green light to play in the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown had an opportunity for more involvement in the passing game with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) inactive, but he ended up playing just 37% of the offensive snaps while failing to catch his only target. Newcomer Jakobi Meyers led the Jags with 41 receiving yards on three catches, and Parker Washington scored through the air and on special teams. Brown has only 19 catches on 35 targets for 219 yards and one touchdown in eight games in his first year in Duval, but he makes more sense as a waiver addition in deeper leagues now that Hunter will miss the rest of the season. The 26-year-old will still be a boom/bust dart throw, though, and his short-term fantasy value will depend on whether Thomas misses more time with his ankle injury.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) appears to be ramping up his rehab, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Reed is still on Injured Reserve, but he was "working up a sweat" on a side field during Thursday's practice. The Packers have yet to open up Reed's 21-day practice window, but that might not be far off. The 25-year-old former second-rounder is rehabbing from a broken collarbone and a fracture in his foot that has kept him sidelined since Week 2. Despite the long layoff, Reed should become a big part of Green Bay's offense when he's back in the fold. Early in his career, he's proven to have a nose for the end zone, scoring 18 touchdowns (15 receiving, three rushing) in his 35 games (24 starts). The Packers have a crowded wideout room, but Reed, who is currently rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues, deserves to be stashed in fantasy with his return looming.
