Who Should I Start? Dontay Demus Jr. or Bo Melton

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dontay Demus Jr. turned in a couple of big plays during the team's loss in their final preseason matchup. The 22-year-old rookie out of Maryland finished with 86 yards while catching two out of his three targets. Demus had to put everything on display to grab one the final remaining receiver spots on the team. His competition at the end of the bench isn't the best, so he had a real shot. He turned that into a big 47-yard catch when Anthony Brown was scrambling away from pressure and another 39-yard grab as well. While Demus didn't score, he did at least show some big play ability and an ability to get open to extend plays.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton caught his lone target for a 19-yard touchdown during the team's 21-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old snagged the touchdown in the early third quarter to put the Packers ahead 13-7. Melton came onto the roster over the final month of the regular season with the Packers dealing with wide receiver injuries and made an impact when he went over 100 yards receiving in Week 17 to become the first Green Bay receiver to do so in 2023. Melton then made the active roster permanently and served as a rotational option throughout the playoffs. With so many mouths to feed in Green Bay, Melton is not a player fantasy managers need to keep an eye on in the offseason. His name will pop back up as a waiver wire option if any of the starters go down with an injury.
