Who Should I Start? Gunner Olszewski or Isaiah Neyor

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.

In a recent appearance on the 'Bussin' with the Boys' podcast, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle sang the praises of rookie wide receiver Isaiah Neyor. "He's a freak. He was running a route, and he got nine and a half yards in two strides. It was insane," said Kittle. "We watched it ten times in the tight end room. We were like 'how is he doing this?' At the bare minimum, he should make the practice squad. He's a freak." Neyor signed with the 49ers back in April as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska, and while his college stats won't blow you away, the 24-year-old's athleticism is enough to do so (99th percentile speed score). It won't be easy to find playing time in a crowded room of viable pass-catchers, but the 6-foot-4 rookie should undoubtedly be on fantasy managers' radars in dynasty leagues.
