Who Should I Start? Brandon Johnson or Kaden Davis

The Denver Broncos waived wide receiver Brandon Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. In addition to Johnson, the Broncos also parted ways with Tim Patrick, who quickly signed with the Detroit Lions, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and David Sills to trim their roster down to 53 by the deadline. Johnson improved in Year 2 with Denver last year by catching 19 of his 30 targets for 284 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games (two starts), but he wasn't able to make the final cut this summer after the offseason additions of Josh Reynolds and rookie fourth-rounder Troy Franklin. The 26-year-old rejoin the Broncos practice squad to give the team additional depth during the regular season, though. Johnson joined Denver as an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida in 2022.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Kaden Davis caught all three of his targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Davis made a splash in the win, catching both of Shedeur Sanders' touchdown passes in the contest. The second-year wideout played sparingly for the Browns on special teams in 2024 but is looking to carve out a larger role as a pass-catcher heading into his sophomore season. He will look to stay hot in Cleveland's second preseason game, which will be next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
