Who Should I Start? Jha'Quan Jackson or Nick Nash

Sunday, August 25, 1:08 PM

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.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Nick Nash went unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft despite leading all college wideouts in receptions (104), receiving yards (1,382), and receiving touchdowns (16). The Falcons added him as a priority undrafted free agent, and even though he has made some play this offseason, he's still likely on the outside of the 53-man roster bubble. "I worry about his chances at making the 53-man roster. The Falcons are in a pretty solid spot in regards to their receiver room. You have Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge, Jamal Agnew, Chris Blair, Casey Washington ... just to name a few," Tori McElhaney of AtlantaFalcons.com wrote. "You will be hard pressed to get more than five or six spots on the 53-man roster for receivers. And you already know you have to pencil in the first four names on the above list plus Agnew, who very well could be the Falcons return man." McElhaney noted that Nash could find a way to stick around on the practice squad. Unless the 26-year-old out of San Jose State draws positive reviews during training camp, he's likely safe to ignore for 2025 fantasy football leagues.
