Who Should I Start? Hunter Renfrow or Gage Larvadain

Monday, September 1, 12:23 PM

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said the team is excited to get wide receiver Hunter Renfrow back and that he will be active for Week 1 of the regular season this Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Renfrow did not make the initial 53-man roster out of training camp and was released before eventually re-signing with the team after they traded Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings. Carolina also needed more receiver depth after placing Jalen Coker (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve to begin the year. Renfrow is going to start the year on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues, but he could have an opportunity to open the year in starting three-wide sets next to rookie first-rounder Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette. The 29-year-old had a 1,000-yard season in 2021 with the Raiders but didn't exceed 400 yards in 2022 and 2023 and was out of the league last year.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Gage Larvadain carried the ball once for a four-yard touchdown and caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Larvadain punched in a short touchdown in the third quarter to give the Browns a 21-7 lead. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina also handled two punt returns, but he ultimately was forced from the game early with what is being called a lower-body injury. Larvadain will hope to be ready to return to the field in time for the Browns' next preseason game, which is set for next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
