Who Should I Start? Britain Covey or LaJohntay Wester

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams are signing former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey to a one-year contract. He spent the first three seasons of his career with the Eagles after signing with them as an undrafted free agent back in 2022. The 28-year-old appeared in four games with Philadelphia last season, hauling in 7-of-8 targets for 34 yards, and returned six punts on special teams for another 46. He hasn't played many offensive snaps during his time in the league, but he's been a sure-handed short-area target (79% catch rate) and a viable asset in the return game. The Rams have three quality starting wideouts in Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Tutu Atwell, so it seems unlikely Covey will make a mark in the offense, barring injuries. He should compete for snaps on special teams in 2025.

In a recent episode of the 'Locked On Ravens' podcast, former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Qadry Ismail shared his thoughts on sixth-round rookie wideout LaJohntay Wester, noting he could become a valuable weapon for quarterback Lamar Jackson. Wester reportedly took well to punt returns during OTAs, and also made a few plays in the passing game that caught the eye of the former athlete. Ismail also noted that Wester "hasn't looked overwhelmed by anything thrown at him." The 23-year-old broke out during his final season with Florida Atlantic in 2023 (108/1,168/8) but took a slight step back upon his transfer to Colorado in 2024. Baltimore's pass-catching corps isn't one that projects to have much vacant playing time, but the rookie seems bound for at least a role on special teams. He's little more than a deep dynasty stash currently.
