Who Should I Start? Chris Blair or Jalen Cropper

Sunday, August 18, 2:24 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Chris Blair finished with 91 receiving yards and four catches on five targets in a 13-12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The former XFL star stepped things up in preseason Week 2, doubling his yards and targets from preseason Week 1. He remains low on the totem pole with the depth the Falcons currently have at wideout. Still, in the two games he's played this preseason, he's been impressive with six catches and 136 receiving yards on eight targets while averaging about 22 yards per reception. Look for Blair to keep trying to climb the depth chart next week when the Falcons take on the Jaguars on Friday.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Cropper led the team in targets in a preseason loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Cropper saw six balls thrown his way, making four catches for 26 yards including a long of 12. The undrafted free agent spent last season on the Cowboys practice squad and would likely need several injuries ahead of him to have relevance in 2024, but it's worth keeping an eye on his usage going forward in preseason play.
