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 wide receiver Pat Bryant is starting to finally get more involved in the offense. Over the last two games, Bryant has hauled in eight receptions for 124 yards. He has finished with 40 or more receiving yards in four of his last five games. The rookie wideout is becoming a more trustworthy option Denver's offense. He played a season-high 70 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's win over the Washington Commanders. Given his success, Bryant continues to be more involved in the offense. Bryant is still the third or fourth option in the receiving game, which doesn't offer great weekly value. He should be viewed as a low-end flex option for the upcoming Week 14 matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
