Who Should I Start? Jalen Reagor or Maurice Alexander

The Los Angeles Chargers re-signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor and running back Nyheim Miller-Hines to their practice squad on Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Reagor and Miller-Hines will return to the Bolts to provide depth entering the 2025 regular season at their respective positions. Even if they are both brought up to the active roster at some point this year, they most likely will not be on the fantasy radar. The 26-year-old Reagor never lived up to his draft stock as the 21st overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of TCU. In his five NFL seasons with four teams, Reagor has 86 catches, 1,037 yards and four touchdowns in 64 games (27 starts). He hasn't scored since 2022. Miller-Hines, 28, has mostly operated as a light pass-catching back in his five NFL seasons, but he hasn't played since 2022 due to a torn ACL.

The Chicago Bears signed free-agent wide receiver Maurice Alexander to a Reserve/Futures deal on Friday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. New head coach Ben Johnson is poaching Alexander from the Detroit Lions after the 28-year-old spent the last three years in Detroit. The former undrafted free agent out of Florida International has only appeared in four NFL games, though, with all of them coming back in 2022. In his four games for the Lions, he caught his only target for a gain of seven yards. Alexander will head to Chicago with a firm grasp of Johnson's offensive concepts, although he will still be a long shot to make the 53-man active roster to begin the 2025 season out of training camp. He will most likely stick on Chicago's practice squad next season.
