Who Should I Start? Pat Bryant or Isaac TeSlaa

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant could be pushing for more playing time after registering his first career statistics last weekend. The rookie caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Week 2, and his solid showing could lead to more opportunities in the passing game when Denver takes on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3. Of course, Bryant will still have to earn his targets. Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin have both established themselves at the top of the pecking order, while Marvin Mims Jr. will maintain a moderate snap share thanks to his deep-threat role. However, Bryant still has a chance to carve out a role of his own. He's worth monitoring in deeper leagues and stashing on the bench in dynasty formats. However, he shouldn't be started for the time being. His position on the depth chart and matchup against a strong Chargers secondary are a little too concerning.

For the first time in his young career, Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa was held without a catch in Monday night's win over the Ravens. The rookie out of Arkansas was targeted twice, which represented a season-high, but he was unable to come down with a circus grab, as he had in each of his first two games. TeSlaa's talent has popped when given opportunities, but with only four targets through three weeks, those opportunities are not coming with nearly enough frequency to put him in consideration for a flex spot. Wherever possible, he should still be held at the end of benches, as Detroit's coaching staff has already talked about ramping up his usage, and his versatility gives him flexibility to fill multiple roles should an injury occur at the top of the depth chart.
