Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or Efton Chism III

Sunday, October 19, 12:11 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. is a healthy scratch in Week 7 against the hosting Cleveland Browns on Sunday. It's the second straight week that Wilson has been a healthy scratch, and it's not a good sign for the 29-year-old's involvement in the Dolphins' offense the rest of the season with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season. He also missed time earlier this year due to a knee injury, and he has not officially been active at all yet in his return to the Dolphins in 2025. Last year in 15 games (four starts) with the New Orleans Saints, Wilson caught 20 of his 27 targets for 211 yards and one touchdown. With Wilson being a healthy scratch again, Miami will move forward with Jaylen Waddle as its clear No. 1 receiver. Behind him will be Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, but tight end Darren Waller should be quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's No. 2 target.

New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Chism was inactive for the first five games this season, but the rookie debuted in Week 6. He has logged offensive snaps in each of the last two contests. He has not yet been targeted in the passing game, but he does have seven kick returns. The 24-year-old undrafted free agent could remain a healthy scratch until another wide receiver suffers an injury.
