Who Should I Start? Hunter Renfrow or Zay Flowers

Sunday, October 19, 11:39 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He is a healthy scratch for the first time this season. The veteran receiver had amassed 15 catches, 89 yards, and two touchdowns through six games this year, headlined by a Week 2 contest against Arizona in which he caught seven passes and found the end zone twice. Renfrow's role had gradually declined since then. Now, with Jalen Coker healthy and active as the Panthers' slot receiver, the team decided it had no need for Renfrow heading into a clash with the Jets. Renfrow can be dropped in all fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder), who was listed as questionable for the Week 6 game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams, is officially active for Sunday's contest. Flowers was limited in practice all week but will suit up as the Ravens look to avoid falling to 1-5 on the season. They'll have to do it without star quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for the second straight week, which won't be easy against L.A. Flowers caught all five of his targets for 72 yards in last week's blowout loss to the Houston Texans, with quarterback Cooper Rush making the start. It wasn't a bad showing for fantasy purposes, all things considered, but expecting a repeat of that performance from Flowers might be wishful thinking this weekend. He's definitely a fade candidate in DFS, and fantasy managers might want to consider benching him in regular leagues, too, as he's expected to play fewer snaps as he battles through his shoulder injury.
