Who Should I Start? Tyreik McAllister or Demario Douglas

Saturday, August 24, 10:23 AM

Las Vegas wide receiver Tyreik McAllister is making a compelling case for a roster spot with the Raiders, showcasing his versatility and special teams prowess. He caught two passes for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven yards on one attempt in Friday's preseason tie against the San Francisco 49ers. After a standout performance against the 49ers, where he dazzled with a 35-yard touchdown catch and an electrifying 81-yard punt return, McAllister is turning heads. Originally a running back, his transition to wide receiver adds depth to his utility on the field, making him an intriguing pick for fantasy football enthusiasts looking for a sleeper. His background in the CFL and time on the Broncos' practice squad have honed his special teams skills, which could be his ticket onto the final 53-man roster. For fantasy managers in deep leagues, McAllister represents a late-round flier, especially if he secures a role that includes return duties for leagues that reward return yards.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas caught four of his five targets for 50 yards during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Chicago Bears. Despite a tough matchup versus a Bears defense that defends slot receivers quite well, Douglas was able to be productive, registering four-plus catches for the fourth time in the last six weeks. He continues to showcase a strong rapport with Drake Maye and should be treated as a low-end WR3 heading into a battle with the Los Angeles Rams next weekend.
