Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Ja'Tavion Sanders

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) has been ruled out for their Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The star wideout suffered this knee injury during the final quarter of their Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. Wilson was unable to suit up last weekend and will now miss his second-straight game. During his first five games of the season, Wilson was on pace to enjoy the best season of his career as he caught 33 of his 48 targets for 382 yards and four touchdowns. As a result, managers should expect the vast majority of targets to go to rookie tight end Mason Taylor and wide receivers Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard. However, Taylor projects as a low-end TE1, while Reynolds and Lazard as desperate FLEX plays, as the Jets have yet to announce their starting QB for this contest. Wilson will look to return in Week 10 to face the Browns, following their Week 9 bye.

Ja'Tavion Sanders has yet to become a factor in the Carolina passing game this season. This year, Sanders has no touchdowns and only logged over two receptions and 50 receiving yards in one of his four games played. The second-year tight end was targeted twice, but had no receptions in last week's contest, which was his first since returning from an ankle injury that caused him to miss four games. Carolina will face the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed 5.6 fantasy points per game to tight ends, which is second-best in the league this season. Considering his underwhelming numbers, Sanders is unrosterable in any formats outside of Dynasty leagues until further notice.
