Who Should I Start? Jamison Crowder or Zay Jones

Sunday, September 15, 12:28 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 2 against the New York Giants. The veteran had logged just three snaps in the season opener, catching one pass for five yards. Fellow receiver Noah Brown will be active in Crowder's place. Brown had been a healthy scratch in Week 1 as he was still acclimating to the Commanders' offense. Even if this dynamic remains in place for weeks to come (Brown active, Crowder inactive), Brown isn't a reliable fantasy option.

The Arizona Cardinals officially added wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) to their 53-man active roster on Monday. The Cardinals had a roster exemption on Jones for a week after his suspension ended. After releasing receiver Chris Moore last week -- Moore eventually re-signed to the practice squad -- the Cardinals had an open roster spot. Jones was suspended for the first five games of 2024 due to a violation of the league's personal-conduct policy. The 29-year-old injured his hamstring in practice last week and did not suit up for the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers. If he's able to make progress in practice this week, Jones could be in line to make his 2024 debut on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. When fully healthy, Jones will be battling for targets as Arizona's WR3 with Greg Dortch and Zach Pascal behind rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) and Michael Wilson. Jones can stay on the waiver wire in standard-sized fantasy leagues for now.
