Who Should I Start? Bryan Edwards or Van Jefferson

Tuesday, August 22, 7:39 PM

The Saints waived wide receiver Bryan Edwards on Tuesday. The wideout, a 2020 third-round pick for the Raiders, hasn't met expectations during his career, totaling 48 catches for 770 yards and four touchdowns in 36 games with Las Vegas and Atlanta. He signed with New Orleans in March, so he didn't last long with the Saints. However, he may get claimed off waivers, although that won't mean a thing for fantasy purposes.

The Tennessee Titans are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million. Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reported the news. The former Florida Gator spent one season in Pittsburgh, accumulating just 24 receptions, 276 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games. Jefferson played the second-most snaps of all Steelers wideouts with 755 (George Pickens). The 28-year-old has eclipsed 370 receiving yards only once in his career (in 2022 with the Rams) but figures to slot in as the team's second WR behind incumbent primary option Calvin Ridley. He'll now vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyler Boyd and Treylon Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo. Jefferson regularly disappeared last season, recording one catch or fewer in nine appearances, and will be difficult to trust as a viable fantasy option in 2025 despite the change of scenery.
