Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or A.J. Brown

Friday, October 17, 9:01 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds will get a chance to operate as the team's WR1 in this weekend's home matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Reynolds has been off the fantasy radar all season in New York's low-volume passing attack. However, he'll have an opportunity to shine this Sunday with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) battling a hyperextended knee. While Wilson is officially listed as doubtful, it's expected that he will be unavailable in Week 7, leaving Reynolds and tight end Mason Taylor as the Jets' primary pass catchers outside of running back Breece Hall. Even with the suspected bump in usage, the 30-year-old remains a lower-end option for fantasy, landing as RotoBaller's PPR WR47 for his outing with Carolina.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is missing a second day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com. Brown didn't appear to be injured at all in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, in which he caught two touchdowns, but he missed his first practice of the year on Wednesday and followed it up with another DNP on Thursday. The 28-year-old looks to be in real danger of missing the Week 8 rematch against the division-rival New York Giants this Sunday unless he can return to practice in some fashion on Friday. The good news is that he was spotted working out on the side during Thursday's practice, so there's still hope that he can play this weekend if he practices on Friday. Brown has looked much better in the last two games, catching 10 passes on 15 targets for 201 yards and two touchdowns.
