Who Should I Start? Tim Patrick or Isaiah Bond

The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 31-year-old recorded 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games with Detroit last year. The Lions' decision to move on from Patrick signals an internal belief in third-round rookie Isaac TeSlaa, who was a standout performer in the preseason. In Jacksonville, Patrick will likely step into the team's WR3 role next to Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond continued his recent lull in a 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Bond was unable to catch any of his four targets in the blowout loss, giving him two straight games without a catch as the Browns head into their Week 9 bye. The rookie receiver showed flashes early in the season, but a punchless Cleveland passing attack has crushed any hope of fantasy value for Bond this season. He remains a solid stash in deep dynasty leagues heading forward but Bond is unlikely to make much of an impact over the second half of the season for the Browns this year. His next game comes in Week 10 on the road against the New York Jets.
