Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Tank Dell

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was very quiet on the stat sheet until late in the Packers' 30-27 victory on the road in Jacksonville against the Jaguars. Reed only earned three targets, two receptions and 55 receiving yards on the afternoon, but no reception was bigger than late in the fourth quarter when Malik Willis found Reed on the sideline for the 51-yard catch and run to help set up Brandon McManus' game-winning field goal. It's been a quiet few weeks for Reed, as his target volume has fallen off week by week, but he's still a dynamic player that can hit in a big way for fantasy purposes. Against the Lions in Week 9, Reed is more of a mid-range WR2 with major upside for fantasy managers.

Injuries have rearranged the Houston Texans' offense, leaving wide receiver Tank Dell as the team's top pass-catching option heading into a Thursday Night Football showdown at the New York Jets. The 25-year-old figures to see a significant, if temporary, role increase with fellow receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) set to miss a minimum of one more game and Stefon Diggs (knee) out for the season. Unfortunately for Houston, the Jets boast arguably the best cornerback tandem in football with Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. Dell caught a touchdown last week and should see more targets, though this matchup isn't ideal, making him a low-end WR2 or flex option in Week 9.
