Who Should I Start? Corey Davis or Laviska Shenault Jr.

Thursday, March 14, 7:19 PM

The New York Jets officially released wide receiver Corey Davis from the Reserve/Retired list on Thursday, making him free to sign with any team on the open market. Davis, who is still an option to return to the Jets, applied for reinstatement from the NFL earlier in the day after announcing his retirement towards the end of last season. The 29-year-old pass-catcher now wants to return to football in 2024, but it remains to be seen where he'll be playing. The Tennessee Titans' former first-round pick (fifth overall) in 2017 out of Western Michigan caught 66 of 123 targets for 1,028 yards and six touchdowns from 2021-22 in two seasons with the Jets. Wherever he's playing in 2024, the veteran wideout will likely be battling for a depth role and is unlikely to make a mark in fantasy.

Free-agent wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is signing with the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN reporter Brady Henderson. Shenault was originally a second-round pick in 2020 by the Jacksonville Jaguars out of Colorado, but he has not found his footing over the first four seasons of his career. The 25-year-old posted at least 600 receiving yards in each of his two seasons with the Jagaurs but totaled just 332 yards in 21 games during his two-year stint with the Carolina Panthers. With DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the roster, it'd be a big surprise if he's a fantasy-relevant player in 2024. Assuming he makes the 53-man roster, he'll likely be utilized as a depth player and a special teamer.
