Who Should I Start? Dante Pettis or Andre Baccellia

The New Orleans Saints agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal to re-sign wide receiver Dante Pettis on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pettis began the 2024 season with the Chicago Bears before being released in September with an injury settlement. He eventually latched onto the Saints' practice squad before becoming a part of their offense late in the season. The 29-year-old finished his sixth year in the NFL with 12 receptions on 28 targets for just 120 yards and one touchdown in eight starts. The former second-round pick (44th overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in 2018 out of the University of Washington had his best season in his rookie year, when he had 27 catches for 467 yards and five touchdowns on 45 targets in 12 games (seven starts). Pettis will look for a bigger role in his first full season in New Orleans but will most likely have a small role behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andre Baccellia (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans due to a neck injury. ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reports that the 28-year-old has full movement of all his extremities and is headed to a Houston hospital for further evaluation. Baccellia did not earn a target or a reception before exiting the game. The Cardinals entered the week already missing wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel), Xavier Weaver (hamstring), and Greg Dortch (chest), so the team is now even more short-handed at the position. Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride will likely continue to dominate from a target perspective, while wideouts Jalen Brooks and Trent Sherfield Sr. could both see more playing time.
