Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or KaVontae Turpin

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds is the early front-runner to take over as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Garrett Wilson this year, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. Reynolds is the only player the Jets added this offseason that has ties to new head coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand from their time with the Lions. The team values Reynolds' willingness as a blocker, and he has built some nice chemistry with QB Justin Fields early on. Allen Lazard still has a role to play on this team, but as of minicamp, he appears to be behind Reynolds. The 30-year-old Reynolds dealt with injuries last year and caught only 13 passes for 194 yards and one TD with Denver and Jacksonville. It sounds like he'll have a bigger role with the Jets, but it's unlikely to yield much production for fantasy managers in what is expected to be a run-heavy offense in 2025.

Jon Machota of The Athletic believes KaVontae Turpin could score "at least" eight touchdowns in 2025. He was used "in a variety of ways" during training camp, including "as a running back" and a "big-play option down the field in the passing game." As a result, Machota feels the wideout "is in position to have his most impactful season to date." Turpin is coming off his most productive year in the National Football League. He appeared in all 17 regular-season contests, amassing 31 catches for 420 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys have CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens as the primary receiving options. However, if one of them goes down with an injury, the door may be open for Turpin to see an increase in scoring chances. While that may not be beneficial for fantasy managers to begin the 2025 campaign, he's worth stashing in deeper formats.
