Who Should I Start? Equanimeous St. Brown or Kameron Johnson

The San Francisco 49ers are potentially looking to add some depth at wide receiver, and on Monday, they worked out free agents Quintez Cephus, Equanimeous St. Brown, Grant DuBose, Ramel Keyton, Stanley Morgan, Spencer Petras, and Brandon Powell. Cephus was waived by the Rams earlier this offseason, and St. Brown was released by the Saints before last season. With both Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) on the active/physically unable to perform list and Jauan Jennings seeking a new contract or a trade before the start of the season, it makes sense for the 49ers to add some depth at the position, so keep an eye out for any of these veteran free agents getting a deal to contribute to coach Kyle Shanahan's always-productive offensive system.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 home matchup against the Denver Broncos. Johnson started the week with a limited practice on Wednesday before downgrading to a DNP on Thursday and Friday. In anticipation of his absence, Tampa Bay has elevated wide receiver Sterling Shepherd off its practice squad for depth at the position. The 22-year-old rookie has been a distant option for the Bucs so far in 2024, recording the fewest snaps of all wideouts (11) and failing to earn a single target in the passing game. His lone touch on the year was a carry he advanced for no gain. Chris Godwin and Mike Evans will remain the de facto top two targets for Baker Mayfield, with Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer picking up the scraps in a smash spot for the team this weekend.
