Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Donovan Peoples-Jones

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) is officially ruled out for Sunday's road meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the New York Post's Brian Costello. It's unfortunate news for New York, as the 30-year-old will miss his second consecutive contest after picking up a hamstring injury leading up to Week 2. In that game, fellow wideout Tyler Johnson garnered one more snap (45) than Garrett Wilson, with Arian Smith and Allen Lazard participating on 22 apiece. A similar distribution of playing time is expected for their meeting with Tampa Bay. However, Smith may continue to see an uptick in workload as he better adjusts to the professional level. For now, Wilson is the only asset worth starting from this bunch.

New Orleans Saints executive vice president/general manager Mickey Loomis announced earlier this week that the team signed free-agent wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones and safety Terrell Burgess to undisclosed one-year deals and waived safety Millard Bradford and running back Jordan Mims in corresponding moves. Both Peoples-Jones and Burgess took part in the team's rookie minicamp last weekend on a tryout basis. Peoples-Jones, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2020 out of Michigan. He was on the Detroit Lions' practice squad last year but last played in an NFL game in 2023, when he caught 13 of 25 targets for 155 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games (six starts) with the Browns and Lions. DPJ will face an uphill battle for a starting role in New Orleans as receiver depth behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Brandin Cooks and Bub Means in 2025.
