Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Bo Nix

Thursday, December 11, 1:13 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (knee) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Fields came down with a sore knee last week and was held out of the Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old has yet to practice this week and appears headed for another missed game this Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fields lost the starting gig under center to veteran Tyrod Taylor (groin), but Taylor injured his groin last weekend and might also be in danger of being ruled out this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If neither QB gains clearance this weekend, rookie Brady Cook would likely be forced to make his first NFL start. It's really bad news for fantasy managers who were planning on starting any of New York's offensive skill players.

After back-to-back productive games, rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant is earning praise from his quarterback, Bo Nix. Nix said that Bryant is "an every-down receiver and is getting better and better each week." In the last two games, Bryant has made eight catches on 13 targets for 124 yards, playing a 58% and 70% snap share in those games. The third-round pick from Illinois is becoming a top target for Nix, and he played the second-most snaps of any receiver for the Broncos after their bye week. Bryant and the Broncos face an easy matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While Bryant is not yet a regular starter, with high praise from his quarterback and a growing role, the rookie receiver is a name to watch this week.
