Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Jayden Reed

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs continues to have some fantasy appeal for Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. Diggs was out-snapped and out-produced by Kayshon Boutte, but the veteran still turned in a solid showing of his own with seven targets, six catches, and 57 yards. We can expect similar usage and productivity from Diggs this week as he takes on the Dolphins, who were ripped to pieces by the Indianapolis Colts last week. There's still a good chance that Boutte and perhaps even Hunter Henry remain ahead of Diggs in the pecking order, but with a favorable matchup on tap, he can still carve out a fantasy-relevant role. He ranks as a low-end WR3/flex option this week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone) is looking at a multiple month absence. According to Ian Rapoport, Reed was given a six-to-eight week timetable to return. Reed suffered a broken collarbone during the Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders. This timeframe means that Reed is likely out until some point in November. Fantasy managers can go ahead and place Reed on their IR if they haven't already. The good news is that Reed isn't going to be done for the season. His absence should mean increased roles for Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft.
