Who Should I Start? Brenden Rice or Tayvion Robinson

Tuesday, August 27, 7:41 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Tuesday that rookie wide receiver Brenden Rice and safeties Tony Jefferson and JT Woods were among the players that made the final 53-man roster heading into the 2024 regular season. Rice made the final cut after impressive during training camp and the preseason. The 22-year-old son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice was taken in the seventh round of April's NFL draft out of USC. He might be worth stashing in deep dynasty/keeper leagues, but for his rookie season, he'll merely be a depth option for the Bolts behind Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark, rookie Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Simi Fehoko and Derius Davis. Rice excels with his route-running and also plays with a physical style on contested catches down the field. Initially, he might be a red-zone weapon for a new-look Chargers offense in 2024.

The Baltimore Ravens released wide receiver Tayvion Robinson, the organization announced on X on Wednesday. Robinson went unselected in April's 2024 NFL Draft after three seasons at Virginia Tech and two years at Kentucky. Overall, he tallied 194 receptions for 2,604 yards and 16 touchdowns to go along with 39 rushes for 277 yards in 60 collegiate games. It looks like his chances to make Baltimore's 53-man roster have come to an end, but there could be other organizations interested in giving him an opportunity heading into training camp.
