Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Josh Palmer

Despite practicing in full all week, the Denver Broncos ruled wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) out for Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Although Reynolds is getting close to making his return, he'll remain on Injured Reserve for another week. The 29-year-old's next chance to play for the Broncos will be in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. In addition to landing on IR with a hand injury, Reynolds was shot multiple times in an off-the-field incident. Those injuries apparently aren't holding him back at all. When Reynolds does return, he'll be battling for targets behind Courtland Sutton with rookies Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Denver's offense is peaking right now, but it's still hard to envision Reynolds having a consistent enough role to warrant fantasy attention in 12-team leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer is not a good fantasy option in Week 12 lineups despite a great matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer put up a WR2 performance in Week 9 but has otherwise been outside of the top 24 fantasy wide receivers every week this season. The Ravens secondary struggles mightily against wide receivers (they've allowed the most fantasy points and the most yards to outside pass catchers), but Palmer just isn't involved enough in the passing game to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent dart throw in deep leagues.
