Who Should I Start? Hakeem Butler or David Sills V

Monday, August 21, 2:31 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released wide receiver Hakeem Butler (undisclosed) with an injury designation. The big-bodied pass-catcher racked up 51 receptions for 599 yards and a league-leading eight touchdown scores in the XFL in 2023 but didn't last very long during his second chance to make it in the NFL. Butler was a fourth-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 but did not log a reception for the team, and has zero receptions on one target in two games played with the Philadelphia Eagles in his career. After failing to make the Steelers roster, his NFL career might be over.

New York Giants wide receiver David Sills V led the team in receiving in a loss to the New York Jets in the team's preseason finale on Saturday. He finished with a stat line of six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown. The score came with just 47 seconds remaining in the contest when a win was essentially out of reach. All of his production came with third-string quarterback Tommy Devito under center. The ex-West Virginia Mountaineer is unlikely to make the final roster and should not be drafted in fantasy football.
