Who Should I Start? Irvin Charles or Pat Bryant

Friday, March 28, 9:10 PM

The New York Jets re-signed exclusive-rights free-agent wide receiver Irvin Charles (knee) to an undisclosed deal on Friday. Charles will return to the Jets in 2025, although it's highly unlikely he'll be ready for training camp this summer or the start of the regular season after tearing his ACL in Week 14 of last year. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent appeared in 13 games (no starts) in 2024 and was unable to catch his only target on offense. In his two NFL seasons, he has yet to catch a pass on just two targets over 25 games (no starts), mainly contributing on special teams. Charles logged 212 special-teams snaps last year and will likely resume a similar role at some point next year when he's cleared from his knee injury. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant played the third-most snaps among the team's receivers in Week 5 against the Eagles, trailing only Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. The rotation at wide receiver for Denver has been inconsistent week to week, outside of Sutton and Franklin. But Bryant has earned more snaps on offense for doing the dirty work as a blocker. The rookie got a lot of recognition for his block in the Bengals game that sprung Marvin Mims for a touchdown. Bryant got up a season high 54% of the routes in Week 5, jumping significantly from his high of 32% in the previous week. For the season, he's only caught two of four targets for 18 yards. It's still a very crowded Denver passing attack, and Bryant would need a lot to happen to be fantasy relevant in redraft leagues.
