Who Should I Start? Chris Conley or Justin Hardee

Thursday, October 10, 7:14 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Chris Conley (oblique) is officially active for the Thursday night divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field to kick off Week 6 action. Conley came into the game listed as questionable, but he will suit up. Meanwhile, cornerback Charvarius Ward (knee) is inactive and won't play. Conley is making his return after missing the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. The 31-year-old veteran has caught only one pass on three targets for a four-yard gain in four games played in 2024. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Conley as he serves as receiver depth in San Francisco. Conley's return in Week 6 could mean less opportunities for rookie Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell.

Free-agent cornerback and special teams ace Justin Hardee is signing with the Cleveland Browns, as reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The 30-year-old was originally undrafted out of Illinois in the 2017 class and has appeared in 100 games through his first seven professional seasons. Hardee spent the first four seasons of his career with the New Orleans Saints before a three-year stint with the New York Jets. He earned Pro Bowl honors for his work on special teams in 2022, which is likely where the Browns are primarily interested in utilizing him. Hardee has racked up 78 tackles, one forced fumble, and one interception thus far in his career.
