Who Should I Start? Lynn Bowden Jr. or Salvon Ahmed

Friday, December 15, 10:27 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lynn Bowden has played a partial role in the offense over the past few weeks with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) missing time. Shaheed has logged back-to-back limited practices, indicating that he has a chance to be on the field on Sunday against the New York Giants. Shaheed's status in this game will determine Bowden's role. If Shaheed plays, Bowden cannot be considered in lineups. If he misses, Bowden is a deep league flier against a New York defense surrendering the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers. Chris Olave (ankle) is likely to miss, giving plenty of target opportunities to the rest of the Saints' weapons.

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (foot) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a foot injury that he suffered in the Week 11 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Dolphins promoted wide receiver Robbie Chosen from the practice squad to the active roster. Miami's backfield is suddenly short-handed with rookie De'Von Achane (knee) also aggravating a knee injury that landed him on Injured Reserve from Weeks 6-9. Achane's injury isn't believed to be serious, but fantasy managers looking for running back help may want to consider adding Jeff Wilson Jr. off the waiver wire heading into Week 12 action. Raheem Mostert remains the team's lead back. Ahmed scored his first receiving touchdown of the year on Sunday with Achane hurt and Wilson a healthy scratch.
