Reynolds (Achilles) is one the candidates to take on a larger role after Denver released Tim Patrick on Tuesday, DNVR Broncos reports.
Reynolds got a lot of first-team snaps this summer and is perhaps the most obvious direct replacement/competition for Patrick, as they're both tall, veteran WRs that primarily work the perimeter and don't tend to be targeted at a high rate. From a fantasy standpoint, young players like Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin are probably more interesting, but that doesn't mean they'll get more playing time than Reynolds to start the season. Coach Sean Payton suggested last week that Reynolds' Achilles injury wouldn't be an issue for the start of the regular season.
