Who Should I Start? Hunter Renfrow or Jalen Brooks

Monday, August 11, 10:15 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hamstring) was back at practice on Monday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The oft-injured receiver is attempting a return to the NFL after missing the entire 2024 season due to ulcerative colitis, which he said caused him to drop down to as low as 150 pounds. A former 1,000-yard receiver with the Raiders, Renfrow's health has kept him from reaching similar heights since. He's competing for a depth role on a Panthers team that rosters Adam Thielen and spent first-round picks on Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette in back-to-back drafts.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks (knee) was upgraded to a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Brooks sat out of practice to begin the week after missing last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Normally, the status of Brooks isn't too important, but he could be in line for a larger workload with fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) done for the season. The 24-year-old hasn't done much this season with 11 receptions for 165 yards and a touchdown in 12 games. He's too risky of a streaming choice to trust in important fantasy championship games this weekend.
