Who Should I Start? JJ Arcega-Whiteside or Penny Hart

Tuesday, August 29, 6:17 PM

Atlanta Falcons tight end J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was released by the team on Tuesday as they cut their roster down to 53 players. Infamously drafted before D.K. Metcalf, Diontae Johnson, and Terry McLaurin in the 2019 NFL Draft, Arcega-Whiteside was a highly productive receiver at Stanford but never found solid footing at that position in the pros. He's since transitioned to tight end but wasn't able to make the Falcons' final 53. There's a good chance another team will take a chance on him but his days in the NFL appear to be numbered.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that wide receiver Penny Hart (head) was looked at and taken out of Friday night's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals because of a concussion. Hart was targeted just once in the 13-13 tie and hit his head hard on the turf while trying to catch a pass from quarterback Taylor Heinicke. It's unclear what Hart's status is on Saturday and it remains unclear if he'll be cleared to play in the team's preseason finale on Thursday, Aug. 24, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hart is currently off the fantasy radar while being buried on Atlanta's receiver depth chart behind Drake London, Mack Hollins, KhaDarel Hodge and others.
