Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Ja'Lynn Polk

Wednesday, November 20, 8:10 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) was a full-go in the team's first practice of Week 12 on Wednesday. Reynolds has not played since the Week 5 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders and remains on Injured Reserve due to a hand injury, but he appears to be tracking towards a return to face the Raiders again this Sunday. In addition to a hand injury, the 29-year-old sustained gunshot wounds in an off-the-field incident while on IR. He has apparently recovered nicely from those injuries, though, and should be an option in Denver's passing attack to close out the season. Reynolds caught 12 of 19 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown in his five games before getting hurt and will most likely struggle for consistent targets behind Courtland Sutton when he returns. Rookies Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey have seen bigger roles with Reynolds out.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk saw the field on Sunday but didn't show up in the box score. During the 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Polk saw 41% of the offensive snaps but didn't see a single target. This marks his first game with zero targets and his third with zero receptions. He came into his rookie season with some higher expectations but currently sits behind Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, and Kayshon Boutte in terms of priority in the passing game. The Patriots head to Miami to take on the Dolphins in Week 12.
