Who Should I Start? Equanimeous St. Brown or Laviska Shenault Jr.

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (leg) was activated off the active/non-football injury list on Sunday. The wideout was battling a lower leg strain, forcing him to miss the first four practices of training camp. He signed with the Bills in March after making stops in Jacksonville, Carolina, Seattle, and Los Angeles (Chargers) since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He had a decent rookie campaign, finding the end zone five times. However, Shenault has only had two touchdowns ever since. Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer have both looked good during training camp, and Khalil Shakir doesn't appear to be in jeopardy of losing his spot on the depth chart. With that in mind, Shenault will have work to do in order to get meaningful snaps throughout the season. For now, he's not worth drafting in any fantasy format.
