Who Should I Start? Jamal Agnew or Isaac TeSlaa

Monday, September 8, 8:58 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jamal Agnew (groin) said that he feels good despite exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran receiver is one of three Atlanta receivers dealing with injuries, along with Darnell Mooney (shoulder), who was inactive Sunday, and Drake London (shoulder), who exited after dropping a target in the fourth quarter. Agnew was not targeted in the passing game, but he did get involved on special teams with two kick returns and two punt returns. He's off the fantasy radar for Week 2 regardless of his injury status.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa had one target in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he made it count by turning it into a 12-yard touchdown reception. TeSlaa has made the most of his low-usage role so far this season, as he has three catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns on five targets through the first five games of his career. Perhaps most importantly for his fantasy outlook, Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) left early in Week 5 with a neck injury and did not return. TeSlaa has been firmly behind Raymond in snap share so far this season, so an injury to Raymond could open the door for TeSlaa to take over as Detroit's WR3 alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. It's too soon to count on TeSlaa for fantasy production, even if Raymond does miss time. Still, TeSlaa is a player to monitor in deep leagues, as he's flashed upside and could now be in line for an increased role.
