Who Should I Start? Elic Ayomanor or Pat Bryant

Tuesday, December 9, 2:17 PM

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor caught his first touchdown since Week 3 during Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. Ayomanor finished with just the one catch for 14 yards on three targets, but it was good to see him find the end zone again after an eight-game drought. The rookie fourth-rounder has held down a full-time role for the Titans this season, playing 81.5% of the snaps in 11 games. He's had a decent season, considering how poor the Titans' offense has been, totaling 30 receptions for 353 yards and three touchdowns on 67 targets. He missed the Week 12 game due to a hamstring injury and has faded in Tennessee's passing attack since the Week 10 bye, recording four receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. While his target share gives him a decent floor, Ayomanor still profiles as a flex option in deep leagues in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, according to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Head coach Sean Payton said that Bryant could play with the hamstring injury if it were a playoff game, but the team will hold him out for this game after he missed practice all week. It's unfortunate timing for the rookie third-rounder after taking over as Denver's WR2 ahead of Troy Franklin opposite Courtland Sutton in recent weeks. Bryant has totaled 12 receptions for 156 yards on 17 targets in the past three games. His absence will open up more opportunities for Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr., and Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Sunday. Franklin is back on the fantasy radar as a potential flex play with Bryant out, but he is tough to trust in lineups in a tough Week 15 matchup against the Packers.
