Who Should I Start? Ben Skowronek or LaJohntay Wester

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to re-sign wide receiver Ben Skowronek to an undisclosed deal. The NFL's Ian Rapoport reported the news. The wideout found his way onto Pittsburgh's roster in mid-September after failing to become a member of the Texans' 53-man squad, but an early-season shoulder injury forced him to injured reserve, and he missed six games. Upon his return in Week 10, Skowronek surpassed 20 snaps in a single contest on just one occasion, totaling five catches and 69 yards in ten appearances. The Notre Dame product will serve as roster padding in the Steelers' WR corps, though he's likely to play a role on special teams. Additionally, Skowronek has experience as a fullback from his time spent with Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams, providing a versatile roster piece for Pittsburgh.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver LaJohntay Wester put together a fantastic debut in the team's first preseason game after being drafted in the sixth round out of Colorado. The speedster scored his first touchdown near the end of the first quarter when he returned a punt to the house for 87 yards. He flashed his elusiveness after making the first four tacklers miss, and turned on the burners. Overall, he finished with 104 return yards on three attempts and two receptions for 41 yards on three targets. If Wester continues this level of play, he could find his way into the fourth receiver spot over Devontez Walker and Tylan Wallace.
