Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Parris Campbell

As the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to navigate the offseason, trading for New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard is "in play," according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. As Florio notes, the move likely hinges on whether the Steelers sign quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This wouldn't be the first time a team has pursued a receiver to satisfy the veteran signal caller. The Green Bay Packers once re-acquired Randall Cobb as part of Rodgers' demands during a contract holdout, and the Jets signed Lazard after trading for Rodgers in 2023. The 29-year-old would likely slot in as Pittsburgh's No. 2 receiver behind DK Metcalf after they traded George Pickens to Dallas. He typically plays much better with Rodgers throwing him the football, as he commanded 100 targets from the future Hall of Famer in 2022. He also opened last season with 412 yards and five touchdowns over his first seven games, all of which featured Rodgers under center. Any sort of Lazard trade likely won't happen until Rodgers makes a decision on his future. While nothing is imminent, fantasy managers should keep tabs on Rodgers, as his eventual decision will surely have a ripple effect on many players across the league.

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Parris Campbell on Saturday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. This is not exactly a blockbuster move, but it does give the Cowboys more depth at wideout. The expectation is that Campbell will sit somewhere behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert on the depth chart. The 27-year-old barely saw the field last season as he recorded six receptions for 30 yards with one touchdown in five games with the Philadelphia Eagles. Campbell hasn't exactly been fantasy relevant throughout his career outside of his 623-yard season in 2022. The Cowboys have a handful of capable pass-catchers, so Campbell is unlikely to be fantasy relevant in 2025.
