Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Deandre Carter

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.

The Chicago Bears are signing wide receiver DeAndre Carter, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. The 2015 undrafted free agent has spent time with nine NFL organizations, including the Bears in 2020. Overall, the 31-year-old has tallied 108 receptions for 1,259 yards and six touchdowns. However, he has returned 132 punts and 118 kickoffs in 94 career games, so that's likely why Chicago was interested in bringing him in. Carter is likely to compete with third-year wideout Velus Jones Jr. for return-man duties, a role that could be more important following the updated kickoff rules in 2024. With DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze on the roster, it'd be a surprise if Carter makes an impact as a receiver.
