Who Should I Start? Mason Kinsey or Tyreik McAllister

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Mason Kinsey caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in the 24-16 preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings. Kinsey has floated between the team's active roster and practice squad since 2021 and will likely be cut or signed to the practice squad this year. The Berry College product has stuck around the organization, but there's a minuscule chance he's on the fantasy radar at any point during the 2023 season.

Las Vegas wide receiver Tyreik McAllister is making a compelling case for a roster spot with the Raiders, showcasing his versatility and special teams prowess. He caught two passes for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven yards on one attempt in Friday's preseason tie against the San Francisco 49ers. After a standout performance against the 49ers, where he dazzled with a 35-yard touchdown catch and an electrifying 81-yard punt return, McAllister is turning heads. Originally a running back, his transition to wide receiver adds depth to his utility on the field, making him an intriguing pick for fantasy football enthusiasts looking for a sleeper. His background in the CFL and time on the Broncos' practice squad have honed his special teams skills, which could be his ticket onto the final 53-man roster. For fantasy managers in deep leagues, McAllister represents a late-round flier, especially if he secures a role that includes return duties for leagues that reward return yards.
