Who Should I Start? Javon Baker or Keandre Lambert-Smith

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker is signing a practice squad deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. A fourth-round pick of New England's in 2024, Baker was released by the Patriots on Wednesday. The 23-year-old appeared in 11 games for New England as a rookie but recorded just one catch. In Philadelphia, he will be a depth piece behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and John Metchie III. Baker should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in 2025.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 11 contest on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lambert-Smith was unable to play in the Week 10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hamstring injury, but the 23-year-old fifth-rounder returned to a full practice this week and was cleared of his injury. There was some hype around Lambert-Smith during training camp, but he has really only contributed on special teams for the Bolts in his first year in the NFL. He has been active for six games in his rookie campaign, catching just one of four targets for one yard. Lambert-Smith should only be stashed right now in dynasty/keeper leagues.
