Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Pat Bryant

Saturday, June 7, 8:17 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds appears to already be developing chemistry with quarterback Justin Fields. Reynolds, who inked a one-year deal with the Jets in March, was observed "connecting on some nice passes during OTAs." The franchise is heading in a new direction, with Fields taking over under center for Aaron Rodgers, who is now a Pittsburgh Steeler. Garrett Wilson is the top wideout on the depth chart. However, the No. 2 spot is seemingly up for grabs. Reynolds has been in the National Football League since 2017, suiting up through the years for the Rams, Titans, Lions, Broncos, and Jaguars. In 116 games, he's amassed 233 catches for 3,127 yards and 20 touchdowns. For now, he won't see much attention from fantasy managers heading into the 2025-26 campaign. Still, Reynolds has a chance to earn routine attention from Fields during the season, assuming the duo continue to build chemistry in camp. If that happens, it might not be good for the potential production of Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, and Arian Smith, among others.

The Denver Broncos agreed to a four-year rookie contract with third-round wide receiver Pat Bryant on Wednesday, a source told 9 News' Mike Klis. The Broncos selected the Illinois product with the 74th overall pick to give them more wideout depth behind WR1 Courtland Sutton in 2025 and beyond. It's another weapon for second-year quarterback Bo Nix, and the 22-year-old pass-catcher should give him a nice big target with a wide catch radius at 6-foot-2, 204 pounds. Bryant has drawn comparisons to former Saints receiver Michael Thomas, who had a nice history with head coach Sean Payton. He could have trouble separating from defensive backs in the NFL, but Bryant's production (17 touchdowns the last two years) speaks for itself. Bryant will most likely struggle for volume in 2025 as he competes with Marvin Mims Jr., Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin.
