Who Should I Start? Pat Bryant or Isaac TeSlaa

Saturday, November 15, 2:55 PM

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant has recorded 10 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets. With Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) sidelined by a concussion, Bryant has stepped into the WR3 role in Denver over the past two weeks. However, Mims Jr. logged three full practices this week and does not carry an injury designation into the team's Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Bryant should still see some snaps against Kansas City, but the return of Mims Jr. limits his breakout potential. The Chiefs are also a difficult matchup, as they have allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards (1,763) in the NFL so far this season. Bryant should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 11.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is dealing with a hand injury and has been limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard. TeSlaa only has four receptions in 11 games played in his first NFL season, but two of those grabs came in the end zone for Detroit. The 23-year-old third-rounder out of Arkansas has played through an oblique issue recently as well, but he should be good to go for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day tilt against the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 13. Fellow wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) is in danger of being inactive after two missed practices already this week, so it's possible that TeSlaa could have an expanded role for the Lions. Still, TeSlaa would be an incredibly risky fantasy option. He hasn't caught a pass since Nov. 9 and hasn't seen more than two looks in a game in 2025.
