Who Should I Start? Lil'Jordan Humphrey or Devontez Walker

Thursday, October 16, 9:31 AM

After a season-best performance last week, New York Giants wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey has quickly risen as a name to watch in deeper leagues with fellow receiver Malik Nabers (knee) out for the year. The former Texas standout saw a 17% increase in roster pickups in Sleeper dynasty formats, making him one of the most popular adds of the week. Humphrey was playing mostly because an injury to Darius Slayton (hamstring) further thinned out the Giants' receiver room, making Humphrey's role a bit of a wild card in future weeks. The veteran wideout has only surpassed 20 catches in a season once in his previous six years, topping out at 31 with Denver last year, so managers should likely temper expectations for him, especially against a tough Denver defense this week.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker (oblique) is officially active for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The second-year UNC product has been pretty quiet so far, other than a fluke two-touchdown game back in Week 2. He has just one catch over his last two games and played only seven percent of the offensive snaps last week. He should be avoided in fantasy football as he remains buried behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, and Tylan Wallace.
