Who Should I Start? Dee Eskridge or Isaac TeSlaa

Sunday, August 17, 7:35 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Dee Eskridge stepped up on Saturday with three catches for 53 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Miami's 24-17 win over the Lions. Eskridge scored the Dolphins' only touchdown of the first half on an 11-yard pass from Zach Wilson. The second-round pick from Western Michigan was playing close to home and got off to a rough start by fumbling his first punt return, but he bounced back and drew praise from coach Mike McDaniel for his ability to bounce back and put together a strong performance. Last year, Eskridge started the year on Miami's practice squad and only had three receptions for 44 yards in six games. His special team abilities seem to have him on an inside track to earn a spot on the roster out of camp this season, and he could be the team's fifth receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Malik Washington, who all sat out Saturday's preseason contest, giving Eskridge and rookie Theo Wease Jr. chances to step up and post big games.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa only has two catches so far this season, but both have been truly highlight-reel grabs. After a one-handed touchdown catch in Week 1, TeSlaa's latest one-handed grab in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears went for 29 yards and set the Lions up in a goal-to-go situation. After playing just three snaps in the season opener, TeSlaa was on the field for 17 snaps in Week 2. He still has a long way to go before his production reaches fantasy relevance, but TeSlaa is trending in the right direction. The 23-year-old could be a player to stash for deep-league fantasy managers.
