Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or Christian Watson

The Miami Dolphins are signing wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. from the New Orleans Saints practice squad. The 29-year-old wideout spent two seasons in Miami (2022 and 2023) before moving to New Orleans for the 2024 campaign. This move comes after top wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury during their victory over the Jets on Monday evening. In 2024, Wilson caught 20 passes for 211 yards with the Saints. With the Dolphins, Wilson totaled 432 total yards across two seasons and operated in a depth role. However, with Hlll sidelined, Wilson could eventually carve out a more prominent role in the passing attack. However, for the time being, fantasy managers should expect Jalyen Waddle to serve as the team's clear WR1.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) was back on the practice field on Monday for the first time since tearing his ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale in 2024. The Packers opened Watson's 21-day practice window for them to activate him from the Physically Unable to Perform list, but he only went through individual drills in his first practice back. "Today I felt like I was 100%," Watson said. It's unlikely that Watson will make his 2025 debut in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, but the team will need to officially activate him within the next three weeks, or he'll be lost for the entire season. The 26-year-old has had trouble staying healthy early in his career, but he provides quarterback Jordan Love with an explosive deep threat when he's healthy. Expect Green Bay to ease him in once he's activated, but that doesn't mean he's not worth stashing in fantasy leagues in the meantime. The Packers' WR corps will be even more crowded upon Watson's return, with Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, rookie Matthew Golden, Savion Williams, and Malik Heath all vying for targets. Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is currently on Injured Reserve.
