Who Should I Start? Miles Boykin or D.J. Montgomery

The New York Giants signed free-agent wide receiver Miles Boykin on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The former third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame spent the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers after three years with the Baltimore Ravens. In 73 NFL games, the 27-year-old has hauled in just 38 receptions for 498 yards and seven touchdowns. Although New York has one of the weakest wide receiver groups in the league, it's hard to find a path toward fantasy football success for Boykin based on his lack of productivity to begin his career. In all likelihood, he will be a backup wideout or fail to make the 53-man roster ahead of Week 1.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver D.J. Montgomery was called on to fill in for injured wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion) in the team's 30-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Montgomery caught two of his four targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the team's win. Montgomery had not recorded a stat for the Colts before this week but served as a direct replacement for the injured Pittman (concussion). If Pittman (concussion) is expected to miss additional time, Montgomery may be worth a look on the waiver wire ahead of Week 16.
