Who Should I Start? Jake Bobo or Xavier Restrepo

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (hand) played 35 offensive snaps in the Super Bowl LX win over the New England Patriots despite being less than two weeks removed from hand surgery, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Bobo had a pin put in his right hand to fix a metacarpal fracture the day after the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams. "Got the stitches out yesterday and was ready to go," Bobo said on Sunday after the Super Bowl victory. The 27-year-old caught two passes on three targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the first two playoff games, but he wasn't targeted at all in the Super Bowl. Bobo caught both of his targets for 20 yards in 11 regular-season games and will enter this offseason as a restricted free agent. Regardless of where Bobo is playing in 2026, he'll be off the fantasy football radar.

After spending the first 11 weeks of the 2025 season on the Tennessee Titans' practice squad, rookie wide receiver Xavier Restrepo finally made his NFL debut in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 23-year-old earned six targets from Titans quarterback Cameron Ward and hauled in two receptions for 26 yards. Restrepo's path to game action was aided by injuries to Titans wideouts Calvin Ridley (leg) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring). Ridley will miss the rest of the season, while Ayomanor could return as soon as Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, if Ayomanor remains sidelined, Restrepo could have another chance to prove himself against Jacksonville. While fantasy managers will need Restrepo to play more than the 19 offensive snaps he played in Week 12, in some ways, it's encouraging that he was able to log six targets despite the limited playing time. Restrepo can't be trusted as a fantasy starter yet, but he could be worth monitoring for deep-league fantasy managers if the wide receiver injuries in Tennessee persist.
