Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Damiere Byrd

Monday, September 16, 12:35 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught four of his five targets for a team-high 93 yards in the team's 13-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday in Week 2. Reynolds has now led the Broncos in receiving yards in each of the first two games of the season. His four receptions were tied for second on the team, while his five targets were also tied for second with Lil'Jordan Humphrey and running back Javonte Williams. The 29-year-old was on the injury report this week due to an Achilles injury, but he appeared fine on Sunday and has now developed a nice little bond with struggling rookie quarterback Bo Nix. The inexperienced QB has mostly spread the ball around in an inefficient offense through two weeks, but Reynolds has been the biggest beneficiary. He's worth a look as a bench stash in deeper fantasy leagues but can't be considered much more than a low-upside WR4/flex in a bad offense.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Damiere Byrd has been released by the organization on Sunday. The veteran latched onto the Bills in August after being cut by the Washington Commanders. Byrd spent most of his 2023 campaign on the practice squad with the Atlanta Falcons. He caught his lone pass of the preseason for 20 yards during Saturday's game. His best year came with the New England Patriots in 2020 when he caught 47 passes for 604 yards and one touchdown in 16 games. Since then, Byrd hasn't done anything noteworthy, so now he'll look to catch on elsewhere as depth.
