Who Should I Start? Dayton Wade or Jadon Janke

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dayton Wade continued to be the top pass-catcher in both targets and receiving yards on Saturday afternoon. This time, the rookie out of Ole Miss registered a big-time scoring play in the third quarter while working with fellow rookie Emory Jones. Wade was targeted four times in this contest and caught two of them for 67 yards and a touchdown. His biggest play was a 56-yard catch-and-run where he used a great stutter-step move to fake out the defensive back and break free. Once he was wide open, Jones delivered a perfect ball and Wade trotted in for the score. After two preseason games, Wade has six receptions on nine targets for 94 yards and one touchdown. With Devontez Walker (ribs) ailing from a rib injury, Wade could be playing himself higher up on the depth chart than expected.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst announced on Wednesday that the team has signed wide receiver Jadon Janke to the roster. Gutekunst did not disclose the monetary details of the contract. Janke signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 draft, but was released during training camp and spent the rest of the season with the Miami Dolphins. The South Dakota State product was a multi-year starter during his time at college -- capping out at 57 receptions, 946 yards, and ten touchdowns in his final season. In a stacked Green Bay receiver room, playing time won't come easily. However, he may make the field due to his prowess as a kick returner in college. Janke was more efficient on kickoffs (19.4 per return) than punts (11.4).
