Who Should I Start? Lil'jordan Humphrey or Tyron Johnson

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is second on the team this year in targets behind Courtland Sutton, but he cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups for the Monday night matchup in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. The matchup is a good one for fantasy purposes, with the Browns allowing the seventh-most half-PPR points per game to the position, but Humphrey could see even more competition for targets if Josh Reynolds (hand) returns from Injured Reserve. In addition, rookie Devaughn Vele has been more involved of late and has essentially become rookie QB Bo Nix's No. 2 target behind Sutton. The best fantasy managers can hope for with Humphrey is that he uses his after-the-catch skills to break a big play. Humphrey has scored only once in 2024, has gone over five catches in a game only once and has 50-plus yards only twice in 12 games.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tyron Johnson turned six targets into five catches for 90 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 27-year-old delivered a solid outing, but it might have been too little, too late. Constructing an NFL roster is a numbers game and Johnson isn't expected to make the team. With that said, Saturday's performance will certainly make him a practice squad candidate and could even earn him a depth spot on another team's 53-man roster.
