Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Ricky Pearsall

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Reynolds popped up on the injury report on Friday due to a hip issue. It appears that the injury was pretty serious as Reynolds will miss the next four games. That being said, Reynolds won't be able to return until the last game in November. The Jets will now be using a wide receiver group of Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, and Tyler Johnson for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Reynolds can be dropped in most fantasy formats as he wasn't doing much anyway.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return timeline "remains fuzzy," per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Shanahan said that Pearsall will be evaluated in the middle of the week to see whether he can return to practice as the team begins preparations for a big Week 10 divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. Pearsall has not played or practiced since spraining his PCL in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and while the Niners aren't counting him out to return this Sunday, a "fuzzy" timeline shouldn't make fantasy managers optimistic that the former first-rounder will play against the Rams. And if Pearsall does suit up in Week 10, he'll likely be on some sort of snap count, which would make him a big risk in starting fantasy lineups. If Pearsall doesn't play this Sunday, his next chance to return would be in Week 11 for another divisional tilt against the Arizona Cardinals.
