Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Brock Bowers

Tuesday, September 16, 11:06 AM

After an encouraging Week 1 performance, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson and the remainder of the offense came crashing back to Earth in their 30-10 home loss to the Buffalo Bills. Justin Fields looked like a completely different player in Week 2, completing just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards. In turn, the rest of New York's skill players struggled. If not for backup QB Tyrod Taylor somewhat salvaging Wilson's line (4/50), it'd have been an even worse outing. It's been a mixed bag for the Jets thus far. While Wilson's talent is of the upper echelon, consistent WR1 production will be challenging to come by in his current situation. Volume should keep him afloat to some degree for fantasy, but the Ohio State alum is more of a volatile, WR2/3 until the offense shows some stability. He'll get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is officially active for Monday night's divisional clash in Sin City against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Bowers suffered a knee injury in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots and was listed as questionable for Week 2 on Saturday's final injury report. The 22-year-old second-year tight end will be wearing a brace on his left knee against the Bolts and shouldn't be limited, so fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him on Monday night will have him available. If Bowers is limited at all, it will open up more opportunities for fellow TE Michael Mayer, who is more than capable of having a decent game for any tight end streamers. Bowers had five catches for 105 yards in the season opener before injuring his knee, and he's already one of the best TEs in football in his sophomore campaign.
