Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Trent Taylor

Monday, September 16, 12:35 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught four of his five targets for a team-high 93 yards in the team's 13-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday in Week 2. Reynolds has now led the Broncos in receiving yards in each of the first two games of the season. His four receptions were tied for second on the team, while his five targets were also tied for second with Lil'Jordan Humphrey and running back Javonte Williams. The 29-year-old was on the injury report this week due to an Achilles injury, but he appeared fine on Sunday and has now developed a nice little bond with struggling rookie quarterback Bo Nix. The inexperienced QB has mostly spread the ball around in an inefficient offense through two weeks, but Reynolds has been the biggest beneficiary. He's worth a look as a bench stash in deeper fantasy leagues but can't be considered much more than a low-upside WR4/flex in a bad offense.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor led the team in all-purpose yards in Saturday night's 17-13 loss at the Tennessee Titans. Taylor, 30, hauled in three receptions on six targets for 48 yards and ripped off a 21-yard gain on his lone carry. The Louisiana Tech product was drafted by San Francisco in 2017 but spent two years in Cincinnati before signing with Chicago in 2023, where he worked almost exclusively returning punts. Taylor is currently competing with a large number of receivers to make the roster. It's unlikely that Taylor will become fantasy-relevant in 2024. However, if you squint, you might see Taylor as the best Deebo Samuel, Sr. impersonator available in the 49ers' receiver room should something happen to the real deal.
