Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Jayden Higgins

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he's "hopeful" that wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will be ready for Week 1, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The third-year wideout was seen in a walking boot during the team's preseason game on Saturday and is known to be dealing with a sprained foot. In 17 games last season for Green Bay, Reed caught 55 passes for 857 yards and six touchdowns. He's expected to play a key role in the Packers' offense alongside fellow wide receivers Romeo Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden. If Reed were to miss time, it could open more opportunities for Dontayvion Wicks and Savion Williams to earn playing time in Green Bay.

The Houston Texans released their first unofficial depth chart of the preseason on Tuesday, and rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins was listed as a starter next to Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. As we always say, take unofficial depth charts with a grain of sand in the preseason. It's a good sign for the 22-year-old second-rounder, but it hardly guarantees him a big role right away in his first NFL season in Houston. The Iowa State product was productive in college and showed plenty of athleticism at the scouting combine in February. The problem is that Collins should continue to be a target hog through the air in an offense with a shaky offensive line. It's possible that Higgins could continue ascending and leapfrog Kirk for WR2 duties, but that will likely take time. Consider Higgins a decent late-round dart throw for receiver depth in fantasy drafts.
