Who Should I Start? A.T. Perry or Ja'Lynn Polk

Denver Broncos wide receiver A.T. Perry (undisclosed) will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list, per Sports Illustrated's Zack Kelberman. While the nature of Perry's injury is unknown, head coach Sean Payton predicted the wideout might miss time to begin camp back in mid-June. Payton further noted that he may only be absent a week or so before rejoining the team, "depending on how the summer goes." The Wake Forest product flashed with a few splash plays in his rookie season with the Saints, but was waived following the year and garnered no stats in 2024. Despite his status as a developmental asset for Denver, his frame aligns with Payton's ideal pass-catcher profile. Perry will have quite a bit of work to do in a receiving room brimming with talent, but he is an interesting low-cost add in dynasty formats.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) was on the outside looking in of beat reporter Chad Graff of The Athletic's latest 53-man roster projection. Graff notes that the shoulder injury Polk suffered in the team's first preseason game on Friday "further hurts his chances at making the team." Polk had a horrible rookie season in 2024, recording 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games (seven starts). Even still, it would be a rapid fall from grace to see him get cut before his second season, given that he was the 37th overall pick of the 2024 draft. Graff has 2024 fourth-rounder Javon Baker making the team as the WR6 ahead of Polk.
