Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Cedric Tillman

Updating a previous report, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is listed as doubtful to play on Sunday in Week 7 versus the Carolina Panthers, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. A previous report suggested Wilson had already been ruled out for this weekend. The 25-year-old will most likely not be on the field this Sunday at MetLife Stadium after hyperextending his knee in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos in London. The good news for the Jets and for fantasy managers, though, is that Wilson could be in play to miss only one game and return in Week 8 to face the Cincinnati Bengals. With Wilson likely out this weekend, Josh Reynolds (hip) and rookie tight end Mason Taylor figure to draw most of the attention from quarterback Justin Fields, who is planning to be more aggressive as a passer as the Jets seek their first victory of the year. At best, Reynolds will be a volume-based WR4/flex streamer in fantasy.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are placing wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on the injured reserve. The former third-round pick suffered this injury during their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Tillman will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed wide receivers Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster. Through four games, Tillman operated as a starting option in the passing attack and caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two scores. However, with Tillman slated to miss time, fantasy managers should expect veteran Jerry Jeudy to take the lead role in the offense, while rookie Isaiah Bond is expected to see a larger target share.
