Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Tyler Warren

Sunday, October 19, 11:53 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), who was listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the visiting Carolina Panthers, has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game. Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in last week's loss in London to the Denver Broncos and was unable to practice all week. There is some optimism that Wilson will only have to miss one game, but it's unclear if he'll be in play to return for a Week 8 tilt next Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson has been the team's clear WR1 through six weeks, so they'll have to adjust and use Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams if they want to win their first game of the year against Carolina. Rookie tight end Mason Taylor could easily lead the Jets in targets this week with Wilson out. It's hard to recommend Reynolds or anyone else on Sunday for a flex spot in fantasy in what has been a bad Jets passing offense this year.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught four of five targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 38-24 win over the Chargers. Warren continues an excellent start to his career and has already solidified his status as a weekly top tight end option in fantasy. Indianapolis has arguably featured the league's best offense through the first seven weeks, and Warren leads the way for them with 439 receiving yards. The rookie should remain a focal point of the Colts' offense as they use him in advantageous spots to showcase his elite yards-after-catch ability. He'll remain a top-five option headed into Week 8 against the Titans.
