Who Should I Start? Xavier Gipson or Pat Bryant

Thursday, September 11, 4:23 PM

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.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant played the third-most snaps among the team's receivers in Week 5 against the Eagles, trailing only Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. The rotation at wide receiver for Denver has been inconsistent week to week, outside of Sutton and Franklin. But Bryant has earned more snaps on offense for doing the dirty work as a blocker. The rookie got a lot of recognition for his block in the Bengals game that sprung Marvin Mims for a touchdown. Bryant got up a season high 54% of the routes in Week 5, jumping significantly from his high of 32% in the previous week. For the season, he's only caught two of four targets for 18 yards. It's still a very crowded Denver passing attack, and Bryant would need a lot to happen to be fantasy relevant in redraft leagues.
