Who Should I Start? Gunner Olszewski or Chase Claypool

Sunday, December 14, 11:45 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (concussion) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Washington Commanders. He had been listed as questionable and won't suit up despite logging a full practice on Friday. Olszewski has primarily played on special teams lately, so his absence won't have a major impact on the Giants' offense or fantasy football. Look for Devin Singletary to step up as New York's primary kick returner this week.

Free-agent wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) is hoping to sign with an NFL team. The 2020 No. 49 overall pick was spectacular as a rookie, amassing 62 catches for 873 yards and 11 touchdowns. Since then, he hasn't been as productive. finding the end zone only six times. After stops in Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Miami, Claypool was in line to suit up for the Buffalo Bills heading into the 2024 campaign. Unfortunately, he tore a ligament and tendon in his toe before eventually being released by the team. With the injury behind Claypool, he is eager to get back on the field while claiming to be stronger and faster than ever. "I am back to being the strongest and fastest I've ever been and couldn't be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves," said the 26-year-old. "I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what's been suppressed these last two years." It appears he is more motivated than ever. Although Claypool should see attention from fantasy managers if he signs with a club, he could have a tough time getting close to the level of production he had in his inaugural year. Still, the wideout is worth monitoring in case he ends up inking a deal with a team where he'll have the opportunity to get involved.
