Who Should I Start? Malik Heath or Jalen Brooks

Saturday, August 24, 4:50 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Malik Heath led the Packers in all receiving categories during their final preseason tune-up against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon. Heath, the second-year receiver out of Ole Miss, led the Packers with five targets and a four-catch, 39-yard effort, including a third-quarter touchdown from Sean Clifford. The Packers sat Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks, leaving the starting wide receivers to be Heath and Bo Melton, of whom Heath is battling to be the team's WR5 this season. The Packers have an embarrassment of riches at the receiver spot, so the team may opt to keep six on the 53-man roster, but the race is too close to call if the Packers only keep one. Heath was a sporadic contributor last season but was not fantasy-relevant. He shouldn't be drafted, but if any of the receivers ahead of him are hurt, Heath could contribute if he makes the roster.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks (ankle) is officially questionable for the team's Week 3 home tilt against the visiting Baltimore Ravens. The 24-year-old received the tag after popping up on the injury report Thursday, putting together back-to-back limited sessions ahead of the team's matchup. Through two games, Brooks has converted 2-of-4 targets for 28 yards on 41 total snaps. It's the fourth-most of any Cowboys wideout -- however, CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, and Brandin Cooks have all recorded 102 snaps or more. The second-year receiver is a more critical special teams player for Dallas as opposed to his offensive contributions. He can be firmly off fantasy manager's radars outside deep dynasty leagues.
