Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Ryan Flournoy

Saturday, November 15, 10:14 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt should handle increased opportunities against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11 with Darius Slayton (hamstring) sidelined. The 24-year-old is still searching for some sort of third-year breakout, as he's never finished higher than WR98 (PPR) in an individual season, nor has he scored a touchdown. His usage has remained minimal this year, as he's caught just three passes for 17 yards. The 24-year-old hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 7, but that should change this week as Hyatt steps into a larger role with Slayton ruled out. In fact, he'll likely operate as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Gunner Olszewski. The Giants enter this weekend with Jameis Winston as their temporary starting quarterback, and his gunslinging mentality should bode well for the Giants' receivers. However, despite the increased role and intriguing quarterback pairing, Hyatt's lack of a track record makes him tough to trust in your fantasy lineups. He has WR3/flex upside, but managers can probably find better options elsewhere on the waiver wire.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy took advantage of his opportunities earlier in the season with CeeDee Lamb missing three weeks due to an ankle injury. Flournoy had a career day in Week 5 against the Jets, catching six of his nine targets for 114 yards. The 26-year-old has since slid back into a rotational role with Lamb back healthy, but he's still finding ways to make an impact. Flournoy caught his first career touchdown in Dallas' Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals while playing 67.2% of the snaps, his most since Week 6, before Lamb returned to the lineup. Flournoy has the size and athleticism to be a part of the Cowboys ' wide receiver sets alongside Lamb and George Pickens, and could still have some deep league fantasy value in the Cowboys' high-volume passing attack. Dallas will be on primetime again on Monday Night Football at the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11 when they return from their bye.
