Who Should I Start? Jermaine Burton or A.T. Perry

Saturday, July 26, 9:29 PM

According to Chris Roling of Bengals Wire, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton has stood out during training camp. The 24-year-old, selected as the No. 80 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, had an uneventful rookie season, amassing only four receptions for 107 yards in 14 games. There were also behavioral concerns. However, Burton has seemingly turned things around, with the wideout receiving praise from quarterback Joe Burrow while being "nothing but positive in interviews and eye-openingly good on the field." Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who both signed new deals in the offseason, will remain the featured wideouts. Still, Burton could find himself in a bigger role if Chase or Higgins go down with an injury, potentially earning more targets than Andrei Iosivas. With that in mind, Burton has little-to-no redraft value at the moment, although he's still worth stashing on dynasty rosters.

Denver Broncos wide receiver A.T. Perry (undisclosed) will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list, per Sports Illustrated's Zack Kelberman. While the nature of Perry's injury is unknown, head coach Sean Payton predicted the wideout might miss time to begin camp back in mid-June. Payton further noted that he may only be absent a week or so before rejoining the team, "depending on how the summer goes." The Wake Forest product flashed with a few splash plays in his rookie season with the Saints, but was waived following the year and garnered no stats in 2024. Despite his status as a developmental asset for Denver, his frame aligns with Payton's ideal pass-catcher profile. Perry will have quite a bit of work to do in a receiving room brimming with talent, but he is an interesting low-cost add in dynasty formats.
