Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Noah Brown

Saturday, June 14, 1:22 PM

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.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Brown suffered a knee injury in minicamp that forced him to miss nearly all of training camp, but it appears he has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The 29-year-old played in 11 games for Washington last season, recording 35 catches for 453 yards and one touchdown. Brown is expected to be Washington's WR3 alongside Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. Brown is unlikely to be a significant factor in fantasy this season, but he could be a solid bye-week replacement off the waiver wire if one of McLaurin or Samuel Sr. were to go down with an injury.
