Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Jayden Reed

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown had cooled off going into the Week 7 London game against the Los Angeles Rams after two straight 50-yard games to begin the season. Despite catching only two of his four targets in Sunday's 35-7 blowout loss to the Rams, Brown reached the 50-yard mark for the third time this year despite playing a season-low 30% of the offensive snaps. The 25-year-old could have had a bigger game, but he spent time on the sideline and in the medical tent after injuring his right leg on a 39-yard catch in the third quarter. He was able to return to the game but was unable to do any further damage, and he's had exactly two receptions in each of the four games for the Jaguars. Brown heads into Jacksonville's Week 7 bye with only 16 catches, 194 yards, and one touchdown on 27 targets in six games in 2025 and really cannot be trusted as a WR4/flex in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has officially been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This move comes as no surprise after Reed suffered a fractured collarbone in Week 2. He had also been attempting to play through a Jones fracture in his foot, so Reed underwent operations on both injuries earlier this week. The IR placement guarantees Reed will miss at least four games, but he's almost certain to be out significantly longer than that. Without him, Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden could all see a bump in both snaps and target volume. Reed could be stashed in fantasy leagues that offer an IR spot, but there's no guarantee he will be able to return in time to make an impact later this season.
