Who Should I Start? Gunner Olszewski or Denzel Mims

Saturday, November 15, 10:18 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Gunner Olszewski will likely start alongside Wan'Dale Robinson during Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Chicago Bears. Darius Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for this weekend, leaving Robinson, Olszewski, and Jalin Hyatt as the Giants' only healthy and active wide receivers. (Ray-Ray McCloud III will likely be elevated from the practice squad, too.) Olszewski has just one catch for 24 yards and a touchdown this year, but he did see two targets while playing a season-high 38 percent of the offensive snaps with Slayton sidelined for a portion of last week's game. Fantasy managers should treat the 28-year-old as a low-floor WR3/flex with a modest ceiling. There are worse options on the waiver wire this week, and Olszewski's role as the No. 2 receiver could pair well with the installation of gunslinger Jameis Winston as the Giants' starting quarterback.

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.
