Who Should I Start? Trent Sherfield Sr. or John Metchie III

Sunday, August 10, 10:52 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. continued to impress in the team's 30-9 win over the hosting San Francisco 49ers in the preseason opener on Saturday night. Sherfield caught all three of his targets for a team-high 73 receiving yards and also found the end zone on a pretty 36-yard catch in the front corner of the end zone. The 29-year-old has done nothing but impress during training camp practices and carried that over into the first preseason game. He should also contribute on special teams for the Broncos this year, but Sherfield's work already this summer should make him a lock for the 53-man roster going into Week 1 for at least WR and special-teams depth. The seven-year NFL veteran caught only eight of his nine targets for 83 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (one start) for Minnesota a year ago.

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III's production took a step back in Week 13, but he'll still be on the fantasy radar for his team's matchup with the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. Metchie III drew a season-high eight targets in last weekend's 27-24 win over Atlanta, although he could only churn out 19 yards (four receptions) while dealing with drops. In spite of the poor performance, the 25-year-old has seen at least seven targets in back-to-back outings, and figures to be heavily involved again as New York attempts to remain in playoff contention. While it's unclear if teammate Adonai Mitchell's superior target share from last week is a trend, rookie tight end Mason Taylor has taken a backseat to the wideouts with Tyrod Taylor at the helm. Metchie III's upside is slightly capped, but fantasy managers can trust him as a low-end PPR option for at least one more week with Garrett Wilson (knee) still tending to an injury. The former Philadelphia Eagle is RotoBaller's PPR WR51 ahead of Week 14's outing.
