Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or K.J. Hamler

The Baltimore Ravens claimed wide receiver Diontae Johnson off waivers from the Houston Texans on Wednesday. However, per NFL rules, Johnson won't be awarded to the Ravens until after the Super Bowl, so he won't be eligible to play in the rest of the postseason. Johnson has had quite the wild ride this year, starting the year with the Carolina Panthers before being dealt to Baltimore at the trade deadline. After being suspended for conduct detrimental to the team and catching only one of five targets for six yards in four games with the Ravens, he was released and picked up by the Texans. He caught three of five targets for 24 yards in his two games with Houston before being waived, and now he's back in Baltimore. The 28-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent in March, so there's a good chance he won't open the 2025 season with the Ravens.

The Buffalo Bills announced on Tuesday that they signed running back Frank Gore Jr., wide receivers Tyrell Shavers, KJ Hamler and Jalen Virgil, cornerbacks Te'Cory Couch and Daequan Hardy, offensive lineman Mike Edwards, offensive tackle Richard Gouraige and defensive tackle Zion Logue to Reserve/Futures Deals. Gore, the son of NFL star RB Frank Gore, went undrafted out of Southern Mississippi in 2024 before latching on with the Bills. The 22-year-old spent most of the year on the practice squad but was active in Week 6 against the New York Jets, although he didn't play a snap. Hamler, a former second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2020 out of Penn State, spent all year on Buffalo's practice squad. The 25-year-old is a speedy deep threat but has been limited by injuries. He has 42 receptions for 620 yards and three TDs on 80 targets in his three seasons with Denver.
