Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Marquez Valdes-Scantling

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.

The Pittsburgh Steelers elevated wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to the team's official website. Valdes-Scantling signed with the Seattle Seahawks during the offseason but was released before the season began. The veteran was picked up by the San Francisco 49ers, where he played five games and recorded four receptions for 40 yards on eight targets before being waived again. He then signed to Pittsburgh's practice squad on Nov. 4 and is now set to make his team debut in Week 14's divisional matchup against the Ravens. The Steelers have been searching for playmakers at wide receiver all season to complement DK Metcalf, and recently signed veteran Adam Thielen to the practice squad. Valdes-Scantling should have the opportunity for playing time this weekend, but he is most likely to disappoint in his first game with Pittsburgh as a boom/bust deep threat.
