Who Should I Start? Jake Bobo or Pat Bryant

Monday, January 26, 4:21 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo, who caught just two passes for 20 yards during 11 games in the regular season, caught one of quarterback Sam Darnold's three touchdown passes in Sunday's NFC Championship win over the Los Angeles Rams. Bobo was targeted just once in the 31-27 victory to advance to the Super Bowl, and he capitalized on that one target to score from 17 yards out. It was the 27-year-old pass-catcher's first touchdown of the year and only his fourth TD since debuting in the NFL in 2023 with Seattle. After catching only two passes for 20 yards during the regular season, Bobo has stepped up to produce two receptions for 33 yards and one touchdown on his three targets in two playoff games. He only played 19% of the snaps on Sunday and hasn't played more than 33% of the snaps in a single game. Fantasy managers should look to avoid Bobo in the Super Bowl in two weeks against the Patriots.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) exited during the first half of Sunday's AFC Championship against the New England Patriots. He was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finishes the game with one catch for two yards. It has been a rough two weeks for Bryant, who also left last week's game early due to a concussion. This time around, he reportedly injured his hamstring on the opening drive and initially tried to play through it before exiting the game. His absence leaves the Broncos short-staffed at wide receiver, as they're also without Troy Franklin (hamstring) on Sunday. Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Elijah Moore will continue to earn more snaps behind Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. The good news for the Broncos is that, if they advance to the Super Bowl, Bryant will have a full two weeks to recover.
