Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Kendrick Bourne

Wednesday, November 12, 1:02 AM

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.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne slipped behind Demarcus Robinson on the depth chart in recent weeks, but reclaimed the WR3 role against the Titans in Week 15. Robinson did end the game with more receiving yards, but Bourne logged a higher snap share between the two for the first time since Week 10. Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) missed the first two practices of Week 16 after aggravating his PCL injury last week. If Pearsall is unavailable, then Bourne is presumed to be the next man in line to fill in for him, though that may not amount to much in fantasy value. Pearsall's six-catch, 96-yard game last week aside, quarterback Brock Purdy's main focus has been getting the ball to Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings, or George Kittle. Bourne is a desperation flex at best, and only if Pearsall is out for Monday's game against the Colts.
