Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Ray-Ray McCloud

Thursday, September 12, 10:02 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) is a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is positive news after Reynolds didn't suit up for Wednesday's practice. He appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Reynolds hauled in five of his eight targets for 45 yards in the season opener. It's quite surprising to see Reynolds getting that many targets. It appears his fantasy value could be on the rise in Denver. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update after Friday's practice. If he sits on Sunday, Marvin Mims Jr. or Troy Franklin could see increased snaps. Neither player would be an ideal streaming option for Week 2.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III was the leading receiver on Sunday in the team's season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 28-year-old finished the game with four receptions for 52 yards on seven targets while returning two kicks for a total of 56 yards. McCloud is usually the return specialist and sees minimal work in the passing game as his stats show over the last six seasons. He only saw 15 targets throughout all of last season with the San Francisco 49ers. The offense struggled mightily in their first game against a determined TJ Watt and company, especially with this being Kirk Cousins' first game back from injury. McCloud likely won't remain the team's top receiver but could be worth a flyer in very deep leagues moving forward.
