Who Should I Start? Jordan Matthews or Josh Reynolds

Tuesday, November 12, 2:12 PM

The Carolina Panthers are releasing wide receiver Cam Johnson and tight end Jordan Matthews on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The team also activated veteran wideout Adam Thielen from Injured Reserve. Johnson went unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Northwestern and has spent time on the Cowboys and Panthers practice squad. Matthews, who began his career as a wide receiver out of Vanderbilt in 2014, has been with Carolina since 2023, but he only played in one game for the organization. These moves do not have any fantasy football impact.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) was a full-go in the team's first practice of Week 12 on Wednesday. Reynolds has not played since the Week 5 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders and remains on Injured Reserve due to a hand injury, but he appears to be tracking towards a return to face the Raiders again this Sunday. In addition to a hand injury, the 29-year-old sustained gunshot wounds in an off-the-field incident while on IR. He has apparently recovered nicely from those injuries, though, and should be an option in Denver's passing attack to close out the season. Reynolds caught 12 of 19 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown in his five games before getting hurt and will most likely struggle for consistent targets behind Courtland Sutton when he returns. Rookies Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey have seen bigger roles with Reynolds out.
