Who Should I Start? Denzel Mims or Lawrence Cager

Free agent wide receiver Denzel Mims is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad on Tuesday. The 25-year-old was traded from the New York Jets to the Detroit Lions on July 20 but was released by Detroit just two months later. Given Mims' track record since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, there's a low probability he'll make a significant impact on the struggling Steelers' offense even if he makes his way onto the active roster. He has just 42 receptions for 676 yards and zero touchdowns after three years in the NFL.

New York Giants tight end Lawrence Cager caught one of New York's two touchdowns in their 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. With a blowout already well underway, the Dallas defense let their foot off of the gas pedal and allowed Cager to catch a ten-yard score. It was his only reception of the contest. The reserve tight end only has three catches this season (all against Dallas) and is seeing increased time on the field with the injury to Darren Waller (hamstring). There aren't any reasons to roster the 26-year-old in any fantasy football format.
