Who Should I Start? Pat Bryant or Isaac TeSlaa

Saturday, August 30, 12:46 PM

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant played well in training camp and the preseason and could be ready to contribute immediately in 2025. A third-round pick out of Illinois, Bryant recorded 54 catches for 984 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final collegiate season. The 22-year-old will likely open the season as the primary backup to star Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton. However, Bryant could force his way onto the field alongside Sutton if he produces when given the opportunity. Denver's WR2 and WR3 are Marvin Mims Jr. and Troy Franklin, who are both talented players, but neither has a proven track record of production. Bryant's upside case includes him working his way into the team's WR2 role by the end of the season, which makes him a worthy late-round flier in deep fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that the team will find a place in the Week 1 divisional showdown against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday for rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa, and he'll also see a role on special teams. TeSlaa has really turned heads and looked polished during training camp and the preseason, but it's unclear exactly what his involvement will look like out of the gates in 2025. With that said, the trade of Tim Patrick to the Jacksonville Jaguars definitely opened things up for TeSlaa to have more opportunities in his first NFL season behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. The 23-year-old sixth-rounder will probably have his typical rookie growing pains, but there are worse late-round fliers you can take on a receiver in fantasy drafts. In terms of Week 1, though, TeSlaa will be a pretty risky flex option.
