Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or Malik Heath

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 Malik Heath led the Packers in all receiving categories during their final preseason tune-up against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon. Heath, the second-year receiver out of Ole Miss, led the Packers with five targets and a four-catch, 39-yard effort, including a third-quarter touchdown from Sean Clifford. The Packers sat Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks, leaving the starting wide receivers to be Heath and Bo Melton, of whom Heath is battling to be the team's WR5 this season. The Packers have an embarrassment of riches at the receiver spot, so the team may opt to keep six on the 53-man roster, but the race is too close to call if the Packers only keep one. Heath was a sporadic contributor last season but was not fantasy-relevant. He shouldn't be drafted, but if any of the receivers ahead of him are hurt, Heath could contribute if he makes the roster.
