Who Should I Start? DeSean Jackson or Tre'Quan Smith

Wednesday, November 29, 10:12 AM

Veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson is retiring from football after a 15-year NFL career that featured three Pro Bowls, one All-Pro selection, and seven seasons of at least 900 yards receiving. The 2008 second-round pick spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens. Last season, he totaled 153 yards with Baltimore. Overall, he posted 641 receptions for 11,263 yards, and 58 receiving touchdowns. He also recorded four rushing touchdowns and four punt return touchdowns.

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (groin) to their practice squad on Tuesday and waived cornerback Essang Bassey and released wide receiver Michael Bandy from the practice squad in corresponding moves. Smith began the season on Injured Reserve with the New Orleans Saints due to a groin injury he suffered in training camp, but he's apparently healthy now and will have another opportunity in Denver as he reunites with his former head coach Sean Payton. The 27-year-old remains well off the fantasy radar for now. In his five seasons with the Saints since 2018, Smith has put up 131 receptions (196 targets) for 1,764 yards and 18 touchdowns in 66 games (35 starts). He had just 19 catches for 278 yards and one score in 15 games (six starts) in 2022.
