Who Should I Start? Gunner Olszewski or Denzel Mims

New York Giants wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (groin) landed on the injured reserve list on Saturday. The wideout injured his groin in August. However, after it appeared he'd be good to go for the Week 1 opener against the Vikings, he reaggravated the ailment during warmups. Unfortunately, he'll now be on the shelf for a while. Olszewski has appeared in 65 games for the Patriots and Steelers throughout his career, amassing 15 catches for 180 yards and a touchdown. Without question, that type of production won't land him on most fantasy rosters. Still, the 27-year-old was expected to contribute as a return man, so the special teams unit will take a hit without him.

Free-agent wide receiver Denzel Mims is working out for the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, according to team reporter Todd Archer. The team is lacking wideout depth after Brandin Cooks (knee) landed on Injured Reserve with a knee injury, so the former second-round pick is aiming to join the roster or practice squad. Mims was selected by the New York Jets in 2020 and has spent time with four NFL organizations. He has totaled 42 receptions on 92 targets for 676 yards and no touchdowns in 30 career games (all with the Jets). He did not play in a game last season. Even if Mims signs with Dallas, it would be surprising if he earns a meaningful enough role to be anywhere near the fantasy football radar. For now, expect CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and Jalen Tolbert to operate as Dak Prescott's No. 1, 2, and 3 options in the passing attack.
