Who Should I Start? Jaylin Lane or Isaiah Bond

Friday, November 28, 9:15 PM

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a hip injury, but was upgraded to full on Friday and heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation. Lane suffered the injury during Washington's Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but had the bye week to recover and is good to go for Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder has been forced into more action on offense than expected this season with Washington being ravaged by injury at wide receiver. The speedy rookie has recorded a reception in all 11 games this season, totaling 16 catches for 225 yards on 30 targets. He had the longest catch of his career with a 41-yard gain on a deep ball from Marcus Mariota in Week 10 against the Lions. However, he figures to slide back into a depth role in Week 13 against the Broncos with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) both returning.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond notched his most receiving yards of the season in the Week 15 loss to the Chicago Bears, catching two of his four targets for 89 yards. Bond posted his highest route share (73.8%) since Week 6 and continues to be a dangerous deep threat for rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The undrafted rookie out of Alabama's two deep shots accounted for just over half of Sanders' 177 passing yards for the game. Bond has established himself as a big-play threat in Cleveland's offense and has a growing connection with Sanders, giving him upside as a deep-league boom/bust flex option for the Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills.
