Who Should I Start? Greg Dortch or Van Jefferson

The Arizona Cardinals tendered an offer to restricted free-agent wide receiver Greg Dortch on Wednesday night. If Dortch signs the tender, he'll cost the team $3.3 million for the 2025 season. The Cardinals now have the right to match any offer that he receives from another team in free agency. The 25-year-old pass-catcher has been with the Cardinals each of the last four seasons and has caught 116 of his 158 targets in that time for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns in 54 games (14 starts). In 17 games (four starts) in 2024, he had 37 receptions on 50 targets for 342 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. While Dortch's numbers aren't eye-popping for fantasy managers by any means, he's had a key role in the desert and has been durable, only missing two regular-season games. Depending on what the Cardinals do in the draft, Dortch figures to open the 2025 season as the team's No. 3 wideout.

The Tennessee Titans are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million. Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reported the news. The former Florida Gator spent one season in Pittsburgh, accumulating just 24 receptions, 276 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games. Jefferson played the second-most snaps of all Steelers wideouts with 755 (George Pickens). The 28-year-old has eclipsed 370 receiving yards only once in his career (in 2022 with the Rams) but figures to slot in as the team's second WR behind incumbent primary option Calvin Ridley. He'll now vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyler Boyd and Treylon Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo. Jefferson regularly disappeared last season, recording one catch or fewer in nine appearances, and will be difficult to trust as a viable fantasy option in 2025 despite the change of scenery.
