Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Rashee Rice

Sunday, November 16, 9:33 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will operate atop the depth chart for the second week in a row after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) will not play in Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Meyers made his Jaguars debut last week after being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders at the trade deadline. He caught three passes for 41 yards despite playing a modest 44 percent of the offensive snaps. As Meyers gets more comfortable in his new offense, he'll play more snaps and earn more targets. We should see his involvement trend upward this Sunday, especially with Thomas out of the picture. Meyers continues to rank as a decent WR3/flex play.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Rice returned from suspension in Week 7 and has been nothing short of spectacular for fantasy since. The 25-year-old stepped back into his WR1 role, earning 26 targets and scoring four touchdowns in three games heading into the team's Week 10 bye. With only a three-game sample size, Rice has the most points per game among wide receivers this season. Despite his incredible start, Rice will have to contend with Denver this week. The Broncos defense is the toughest matchup for wide receivers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Rice will need to link up with Patrick Mahomes often and in the red zone to manage a strong fantasy performance. Rice is ranked WR6 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start WR1 despite facing the toughest matchup for receivers this season.
