Who Should I Start? Brandon Powell or Parris Campbell

Monday, April 29, 2:52 PM

Following this year's NFL draft in which the Minnesota Vikings didn't take a single receiver, Brandon Powell, Jalen Nailor and Trent Sherfield are all candidates to fill the No. 3 receiver role heading into the 2024 season. All-Pro Justin Jefferson is the team's unquestioned No. 1, with second-year man Jordan Addison settling in as the No. 2 after a strong rookie campaign in 2023. K.J. Osborn left for the New England Patriots in free agency this offseason. Tight end T.J. Hockenson is coming off a torn ACL, so Powell could see more looks early on in 2024 if he actually wins the No. 3 job in training camp this summer. The 28-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Florida set career-highs in catches (29) and receiving yards (324) with one touchdown in 17 games (two starts) in his first year in Minnesota in 2023.

In Wednesday's practice, Parris Campbell ran with the starting unit as the WR3 for the Eagles. Philadelphia has been looking for some receiver depth with their top two receivers set in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The Eagles let Quez Watkins and Julio Jones loose in free agency and DeVante Parker also retired earlier this offseason. The team also drafted Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith, so there is plenty of competition for the position, one that Campbell has a leg up on early in camp. The former Ohio State Buckeye has been a disappointment in his five seasons as a pro, but could find a home in Philadelphia if he can continue impressing in camp. Campbell shouldn't be drafted in most fantasy formats, but he's somebody to keep an eye onas an in-season add.
