Who Should I Start? Isaac TeSlaa or Efton Chism III

Monday, September 15, 11:05 PM

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa only has two catches so far this season, but both have been truly highlight-reel grabs. After a one-handed touchdown catch in Week 1, TeSlaa's latest one-handed grab in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears went for 29 yards and set the Lions up in a goal-to-go situation. After playing just three snaps in the season opener, TeSlaa was on the field for 17 snaps in Week 2. He still has a long way to go before his production reaches fantasy relevance, but TeSlaa is trending in the right direction. The 23-year-old could be a player to stash for deep-league fantasy managers.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Efton Chism III is once again a healthy scratch for Week 2 on Sunday versus the division-rival Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Chism impressed the coaching staff in training camp and the preseason, but it wasn't enough to put him on the active game-day roster the first two weeks of 2025. The 23-year-old was an undrafted free agent and has more work to do to get on the field on Sundays in his first NFL season. For now, he's just a bench stash in deep dynasty/keeper fantasy leagues. At the moment, he's blocked by receivers Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams. If an injury arises to any of New England's receivers, Chism will likely be the first to benefit.
