Who Should I Start? Jalen Brooks or Tyrell Shavers

Dallas Cowboys second-year wide receiver Jalen Brooks hauled in the first touchdown of his career late in the Week 15 win over Carolina. The South Carolina product has seldom been used over the majority of his first two seasons, but he has made noise in the preseason and looked good on the 17-yard touchdown connection with Cooper Rush. He is not on the fantasy radar, but will be worth monitoring for deep dynasty leagues in the event that he earns more of a role going forward.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers was an undrafted free-agent signing out of San Diego State last offseason, and according to Nick Wojton of the Bills Wire, he could be trending toward making the team's 53-man roster this season. With a need for wide receivers, it was always likely that the "training camp darling" in 2024 was going to be a receiver. It is and it's Shavers," Wojton wrote. " [He] has made plays, leading to him getting reps with the first-team offense. He could be securing a roster spot already and Shavers is a name to watch when the preseason rolls around." The 24-year-old began his collegiate career at Alabama, meaning he was once viewed as a top talent and high-school recruit. While the odds are likely against him to make a fantasy impact in 2024, the Bills have just one receiver on the roster who has caught a pass from Josh Allen in a regular-season game (Khalil Shakir). If Shavers makes the opening roster, he can be viewed as a deep dynasty league stash, and his opportunities should be monitored early in the new campaign.
