Who Should I Start? Jamal Agnew or Jha'Quan Jackson

Thursday, March 20, 5:28 PM

The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/kick returner Jamal Agnew on Thursday on a one-year deal worth a maximum of $2.5 million, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Agnew spent last year on the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad as he recovered from a broken leg that he suffered late in the 2023 season, but he's now fully healthy. The 29-year-old former fifth-rounder (165th overall) by the Detroit Lions in 2017 out of the University of San Diego was a Pro Bowl returner in 2022 with the Jaguars, but he's unlikely to move the needle much on offense in Atlanta, where he'll serve as receiving depth behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III, among others. Agnew was more involved on offense in his three years in Duval, but he still had only 61 catches for 641 yards and five touchdowns on 90 targets from 2021-23.

Tennessee Titans rookie sixth-round wide receiver Jha'Quan Jackson has become a strong candidate for a 53-man roster spot out of training camp, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. Jackson's explosive playmaking ability is helping him in an intense competition for a backup slot role, and his return potential on special teams hasn't helped his cause, either. Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins are the team's top two pass-catchers, with Tyler Body set to start out of the slot. If Jackson wins the backup slot role over Kyle Philips, he could become interesting in deeper fantasy leagues in 2024 if Boyd misses time with an injury. The 24-year-old from Tulane is undersized at 5-foot-9 and 188 pounds, but he could factor in as a deep threat occasionally for a new-look Titans offense that is expected to air the ball out much more. For now, Jackson is merely a player to monitor in dynasty/keeper formats.
