Who Should I Start? Jamal Agnew or Xavier Restrepo

Sunday, November 16, 11:45 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jamal Agnew (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Agnew has played almost exclusively on special teams this year, playing just one offensive snap so far. He has returned kicks for six consecutive games, totaling 24 kick returns and nine punt returns in 2025. Just last week, he had six kick returns for 135 yards. He's an appealing option in leagues that award points for return yardage. Otherwise, he can be left on waivers.

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.
