Who Should I Start? Isaiah McKenzie or Van Jefferson

Wednesday, August 30, 6:45 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie has re-signed with the team after being released earlier in the day on Wednesday. The veteran wideout signed with the Colts in the offseason and was battling with rookie Josh Downs for the Colts' starting slot role during camp. After McKenzie was initially released it appeared that Downs had locked up the starting spot but that may not be the case anymore. McKenzie offers some value on special teams but Downs offers more upside as receiver. The 28-year-old wideout posted the best season of his career last year with the Bills when he snagged 42 balls for 423 yards and four touchdowns to go along with nine carries for 55 yards and another score.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson has been the disappointing fantasy option from the team's receiving trio. Despite leading all Rams' receivers in snaps through the first two games, Jefferson has caught just five of his nine targets on the season for 33 yards. It is clear that Matthew Stafford favors Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell over the 27-year-old receiver. Jefferson should only be started if necessary in deep leagues. He offers a very low floor and a relatively low ceiling and should be avoided in most formats in the team's Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
