Who Should I Start? Jaelon Darden or Dee Eskridge

Saturday, September 7, 1:12 PM

The Cleveland Browns signed wide receiver Jaelon Darden to their active 53-man roster on Saturday and also elevated cornerback Mike Ford Jr. and offensive tackle Germain Ifedi to the active roster ahead of their Week 1 showdown in Cleveland against the Dallas Cowboys. The Browns released former third-rounder David Bell earlier this week, so the 25-year-old Darden will essentially replace him on Cleveland's roster as additional receiver depth behind Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore. Darden will be competing for playing time with Cedric Tillman and rookie Jamari Thrash and is off the fantasy radar everywhere for now. Darden was originally drafted in the fourth round in 2021 out of North Texas by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last year in 16 games with the Browns, he only served as a kick returner on special teams and wasn't involved in the offense.

The Miami Dolphins have re-signed wide receiver Dee Eskridge. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. The former second-round pick from 2021 has unfortunately not lived up to the hype. Last season, Eskridge hauled in three receptions for 44 yards in six games during his first year with the Dolphins. He averaged nearly 30 yards per kick return, so that is likely why the Dolphins decided to bring him back. Eskridge could see a few targets as well, but he'll probably mainly be used on special teams, so he won't be fantasy relevant.
