Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Xavier Gipson

Tuesday, November 18, 7:12 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson hauled in his first touchdown of the season during last week's game against the Houston Texans. The veteran wideout has been quiet this season, but was able to make an impact this past weekend. Jefferson hauled in three of his seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Titans are banged up at wide receiver which could lead to Jefferson having a bigger role moving forward. Calvin Ridley (leg) has already been placed on the injured reserve, but Chimere Dike (chest) is in danger of sitting out in Week 12. If that happens, Jefferson figures to take on a larger workload. Jefferson could offer some low-end flex appeal for fantasy managers desperate for help.

The New York Giants have claimed wide receiver Xavier Gipson off waivers from the New York Jets, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Gipson was released by the Jets after his costly special teams fumble played a big role in the team's Week 1 loss. With the Giants, Gipson should have a chance to battle wide receiver Gunner Olszewski for a role as a reserve slot receiver and primary special teamer. In 35 career NFL games, Gipson has recorded 27 receptions for 268 yards and one touchdown. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.
