Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Josh Downs

Saturday, September 13, 11:07 AM

Fantasy managers can expect New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson to garner another huge workload in Week 2's meeting with the visiting Buffalo Bills. The Ohio State product displayed excellent chemistry with his quarterback, Justin Fields, during their Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Wilson was the only Jets' pass-catcher to command more than four looks (nine) - pulling in a whopping 41% of Fields' targets. With fellow wideout Josh Reynolds (hamstring) deemed inactive, Fields could further lean on Wilson in a tough outing with the Bills. Despite the less-than-ideal matchup, he'll continue to be a target vacuum, which bodes well for his fantasy value. Perhaps more importantly, Fields looked comfortable in his Jets' debut and should be forced to put up points with Josh Allen on the other sideline. The fourth-year pro is RotoBaller's PPR WR13 in an outing with a 47.5-point over/under.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs will take on the Denver Broncos at home in Week 2. Downs turned in a disappointing Week 1 performance in a win over the Miami Dolphins despite the Colts scoring 33 points, catching just two of three targets for 12 yards. The veteran slot receiver will look to bounce back after that performance, but might have a tough time doing so against an intimidating Broncos secondary. That being said, top Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II is likely to spend more time on the outside covering Michael Pittman Jr., Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce, which should open things up for Downs in the middle of the field. Downs has some appeal as a dart-throw flex option in PPR leagues, but he is better left on fantasy benches this weekend unless desperate.
