Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Kayshon Boutte

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) was placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a hip injury in the team's Week 8 thriller against the Cincinnati Bengals. Reynolds is eligible to return in Week 13 against the Falcons. The 30-year-old was having a quiet season in a bad Jets passing attack, catching 11 of 21 targets for 101 yards in five games. With star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) also injured, the Jets will be relying on a wide receiver crew consisting of two newly acquired wideouts in John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell, along with Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) is back at practice in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. Boutte suffered a concussion during Week 16's win over the Baltimore Ravens and was held out of last week's game against the New York Jets. The 23-year-old's return to practice on Wednesday is a positive sign that he is making progress in his recovery and should give him a shot to return in Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins, though he will need to clear the league's concussion protocol first. The third-year wideout has been a valuable weapon in the Patriots' explosive passing attack, catching 31 of his 42 targets for 527 yards and six touchdowns in 13 games. With Mack Hollins (abdomen) on Injured Reserve, Boutte could be in line for an increased role if he can play in the regular-season finale.
