Who Should I Start? Lil'Jordan Humphrey or Isaac TeSlaa

Saturday, October 25, 2:39 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey has appeared in two games this season, recording four catches for 55 yards on 10 targets. All four of his catches and eight of his targets came in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Humphrey and the Giants will face Philadelphia for the second time in three weeks in Week 8. However, New York will have wide receiver Darius Slayton back on the field after Slayton missed Week 6 due to a hamstring injury. Slayton's return to the lineup appears likely to relegate Humphrey to a minimal role in the Giants' offense. Humphrey does not project to provide fantasy-relevant production in Week 8 and should be avoided by fantasy managers.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded two catches for 20 yards and a touchdown on three targets in his team's 44-30 Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. While the 23-year-old has just eight receptions on the season, four of them have come in the end zone, including two in the last two weeks. TeSlaa has seen extended playing time thanks to the absence of Lions wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle), who has missed two straight games with an ankle injury. Raymond's return timeline is uncertain, but his return would almost certainly cut into TeSlaa's chances in the future. Still, Detroit may continue to utilize TeSlaa as a big-body threat in the red zone with tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on Injured Reserve. Fantasy managers interested in TeSlaa should monitor Raymond's injury status heading into Detroit's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
