Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Bryan Edwards

The New York Jets have made wide receiver Allen Lazard available in trade talks this offseason, according to league sources. Lazard is due a $10 million salary this season, so he's not likely to generate a ton of interest from other clubs after catching 23 of his 49 targets for 311 yards and one touchdown in 14 games (12 starts) for the Jets in 2023. The 28-year-old former Green Bay Packer came over before last season as a favorite of quarterback Aaron Rodgers from their time together in Green Bay, but Lazard didn't have much of a chance to excel once Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1. Perhaps Lazard could rebound with Rodgers returning this year if he sticks around, but it sounds like the Jets would rather just move on. If there are no takers for Lazard, the Jets could end up cutting him after June 1.

The Saints waived wide receiver Bryan Edwards on Tuesday. The wideout, a 2020 third-round pick for the Raiders, hasn't met expectations during his career, totaling 48 catches for 770 yards and four touchdowns in 36 games with Las Vegas and Atlanta. He signed with New Orleans in March, so he didn't last long with the Saints. However, he may get claimed off waivers, although that won't mean a thing for fantasy purposes.
