Who Should I Start? Jayden Reed or Xavier Worthy

Friday, November 21, 5:44 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) returned to practice on Friday (he was limited), but he will not come off Injured Reserve and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. The 25-year-old has been on IR since breaking his collarbone back in Week 2, and he's also been recovering from surgery to fix a Jones fracture in his foot. It might be a few weeks before we see Reed back on game day, as it seems unlikely he'll be able to make his way back in a quick turnaround next week on Thanksgiving Day versus the Detroit Lions on Thursday. A more realistic target date will probably be for the team's Week 14 clash against the division-rival Chicago Bears. Even though Reed might not be up to speed until the fantasy playoffs (Weeks 15-17 in most leagues), his touchdown prowess (18 TDs in 35 games) makes him stash-worthy in fantasy leagues until then.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle) is officially questionable to play in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts as he battles an ankle injury. However, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports that "all indications this week were that (Worthy) is trending in the right direction." Worthy was able to practice in full on Friday after starting the week as a non-participant in practice. Across eight games this season, the 22-year-old has recorded 27 receptions for 281 yards and one touchdown on 45 targets. It's been a particular struggle of late for Worthy, as he's recorded at least five catches or 50 receiving yards just once in his last five games. If active against Indianapolis, Worthy profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 12.
