Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Dontayvion Wicks

Saturday, September 6, 11:11 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds is slated to make his Jets debut this Sunday when they take on the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers at MetLife Stadium. Reynolds will play for his third team in three seasons after a brief stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, operating as the Jets' de facto WR2 behind incumbent starter Garrett Wilson. The 30-year-old doesn't offer much in terms of YAC and isn't a burner, but he's likely due for a solid share of targets. However, New York figures to establish the run and play sound defense under head coach Aaron Glenn, leaving Reynolds' prospective figure of looks uncertain. He's a reliable wide receiver, though, and his only real threat to targets outside of Wilson are running back Breece Hall and rookie tight end Mason Taylor. The veteran is nothing more than a DFS dart-throw for now, landing as RotoBaller's PPR WR80 ahead of Week 1.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (hamstring) were both limited in practice all week and are listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report for Sunday's Week 1 season opener against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Jayden Reed (foot) is also questionable while dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot, so Green Bay's receiving corps is quite beat up heading into Week 1. Wicks and Williams appear to have a better shot at suiting up this weekend against the Lions than Reed, but even if they are active on game day and Reed isn't, Wicks would be the No. 3 wideout behind rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs. At best, the 24-year-old Wicks will be a WR5/flex option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues in Week 1, but only if Reed is ruled out.
