Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Isaiah Bond

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond caught just two of his seven targets for 29 yards in a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Bond finished second on the team in targets in the close loss but was unable to get on the same page as rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was making his NFL debut. That being said, Bond's involvement in the passing game has been encouraging of late as he's drawn 13 targets over his past two contests. He will head on the road to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a divisional clash in Week 6. The Steelers have struggled against opposing receivers in four games this year, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game. Bond isn't a must-play, but he will be on the fantasy radar as a boom/bust flex option in a week with both the Vikings and the Houston Texans on bye.
