Who Should I Start? JaQuae Jackson or JJ Laap

Friday, August 9, 3:14 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver JaQuae Jackson turned his lone target into a 38-yard touchdown reception during Thursday's preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. The 24-year-old was on the receiving end of a deep strike delivered by fellow rookie Joe Milton III. Jackson made a nice adjustment in open space, ultimately hauling in the pass and taking off for the end zone. It was a solid play but perhaps not enough to put him into heavy consideration for a 53-man roster spot. The undrafted rookie out of Rutgers faces an uphill battle to make the team, and he remains off the radar in all fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver JJ Laap caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett in the team's 13-9 win over the Chargers on Saturday. Laap's TD catch ended up being the difference in the game as he caught both of his targets for 50 receiving yards. Laap is a rookie out of Cortland State of New York. The small college receiver made the most of his opportunity in Week 2 of the preseason but is not likely to have a role in a crowded Rams receiver room during the regular season.
