Start or sit in Week 5 PPR leagues?
Sit Reynolds this week. He has been solid thus far, but with Williams coming back and Jahmyr Gibbs’ workload increasing, Reynolds may take a step back. Goff loves him, dating back to his days in Los Angeles with the Rams, which is why he is in Detroit. He will still see a few targets.
Start or sit in Week 5 standard leagues?
Sit Reynolds here too. He has two touchdowns on the year but is not always a target in the red zone. Unless he catches a touchdown he’ll get less than 100 yards receiving.

Player(s) you would start ahead of Josh Reynolds
If you’re looking for a guy to start ahead of Reynolds, look at rookie Jayden Reed. He caught two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2.
