Who Should I Start? Bub Means or Jermaine Jackson

Thursday, February 6, 5:50 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bub Means (ankle) said that he was cleared from his ankle injury in late January and is back to full speed as he prepares for his sophomore season in 2025. Means suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 8 and then had a setback that cost him the final nine games in the second half. The 24-year-old fifth-round pick (170th overall) caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards (13.1 yards per reception) and one touchdown in his seven games played (one start) in his first year in the NFL for the Saints. The Pittsburgh product emerged as an intriguing downfield threat for New Orleans in his rookie season and won't be hindered by his ankle this offseason as he prepares for what will hopefully be a bigger role in 2025. Means will most likely be a boom/bust receiver for fantasy purposes for a Saints team that still hasn't settled on a new head coach.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jermaine Jackson (undisclosed) was waived and reverted to the IR on Sunday. The rookie receiver and return specialist suffered an undisclosed injury and will spend some time on the IR while the team tries out some more receivers in the meantime. They've been thin at the position through the early stages of training camp which prompted them to bring in Samson Nacua and Marquez Callaway. Jackson has a chance to come back and make the team, but it seems to be an uphill battle unless the injury issues continue with the receiving corps.
