Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or DeVonta Smith

Wednesday, November 12, 1:02 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) was placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a hip injury in the team's Week 8 thriller against the Cincinnati Bengals. Reynolds is eligible to return in Week 13 against the Falcons. The 30-year-old was having a quiet season in a bad Jets passing attack, catching 11 of 21 targets for 101 yards in five games. With star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) also injured, the Jets will be relying on a wide receiver crew consisting of two newly acquired wideouts in John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell, along with Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is coming off of back-to-back weeks where his production didn't quite meet expectations. It's not due to a lack of looks-Smith is averaging nine targets per game since Week 12-the issue is more because of his yardage. Over the same three-game span, he's averaging just 6.4 yards per target. For comparison, his counterpart A.J. Brown has averaged 9.8 during that time. However, Smith does have a favorable matchup this Sunday against the Raiders. Las Vegas gives up the third-most fantasy points to wideouts this season, and the Eagles should have little trouble putting this team away in what feels like a must-win game. Smith isn't the most comfortable option for fantasy playoffs, but he's done enough to be slotted as a decent WR3/FLEX in Week 15.
