Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or David Bell

Saturday, October 4, 1:56 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds won't be a recommended option this weekend when he lines up against the visiting Dallas Cowboys. When healthy, the veteran is New York's clear-cut WR2 behind running mate Garrett Wilson, playing the second-most snaps of all wideouts in both games he's started. However, Reynolds has accrued only five targets in his two appearances, pulling in two for a total of 18 yards, and none in their loss to the Dolphins in Week 4. There are targets to go around in the Jets' offense, but the emergence of rookie tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall's ability as a receiver have all but rendered the 30-year-old useless for fantasy. He'll likely pick up more work as he's further removed from his recent hamstring injury, and may eventually have a few useful weeks. That said, they could be few and far between, and exceedingly difficult to predict. Reynolds is RotoBaller's PPR WR102 for this weekend's slate of action.

The Cleveland Browns have placed wide receiver David Bell (hip) on injured reserve after he was carted off the field following a hit early in the third quarter, with trainers lifting his right leg for support. Before his injury, Bell had three receptions for 27 yards in Sunday's victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, before he suffered a dislocated hip. A third-round pick in 2022, Bell has accumulated 41 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns across 32 games, including eight receptions for 54 yards in last season's playoff loss to the Texans. Fantasy managers can anticipate increased roles for Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Jerome Ford, and D'Onta Foreman going forward. Additionally, the Browns have signed receiver Jaelon Darden and running back Royce Freeman to their practice squad.
