Who Should I Start? Tyrell Shavers or Bryce Oliver

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers broke out for 90 yards and a touchdown on four receptions (five targets) in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he has failed to register a target over the past two games. The 26-year-old has operated as part of the Bills rotation at receiver this year and hasn't run a full route share in any game this season, maxing out at 61.8% in Week 6, with no other game above 37.5%. With Buffalo adding Keon Coleman back into the mix after a two-game absence for disciplinary reasons, along with veterans off the street in Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks, Shavers is unlikely to see many opportunities. The second-year wideout has an ideal Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Shavers profiles as just a deep-league dart throw in re-draft leagues.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Bryce Oliver hauled in three passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns in the last preseason win over New Orleans. It was a mini breakout for the undrafted pass-catcher out of Youngstown State, who was having a quiet game until quarterback Malik Willis started looking his way in the fourth quarter, which led to two scores, along with the game-winner with 1:25 remaining. Oliver was not expected to compete for an active roster spot, but this performance definitely gives general manager Ran Carthon something to think about. Even so, with Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks, Tyler Boyd, Kyle Philips, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine having locked up roster spots at WR, it's tough to see a situation in which Oliver ends up on the active 53-man roster for the Titans. He is nowhere near any fantasy radar heading into the 2024-25 season.
