Who Should I Start? Jonathan Mingo or Tyrell Shavers

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (knee) was officially activated from the Injured Reserve to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday, according to Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com. Mingo will be eligible to make his 2025 debut this Sunday on the road against the Denver Broncos in Week 8, and he'll be joining a crowded Dallas WR room that also includes CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Tolbert, and Ryan Flournoy. The 24-year-old will give the Cowboys even more depth at the position, but it's highly unlikely he's going to suddenly appear on the fantasy radar anytime soon. The former second-round pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2023 out of Ole Miss joined the Cowboys midway through last season and had only five receptions on 16 targets for 46 yards and no touchdowns in eight games (one start).

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers finished with the team's only touchdown reception in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. With the Bills leading 7-3 late in the second quarter, Shavers made a spectacular one-handed catch in the end zone for an 11-yard score. That was one of two grabs for Shavers, who totaled 24 yards on three targets. Shavers' impact went beyond the box score, as he also drew a pair of defensive holding penalties that led to first downs for the Bills. The former undrafted free agent from San Diego State, who has been fighting for a place near the back of the Bills' receiver depth chart this summer, made his presence felt in all three of the team's exhibition games. Shavers led the Bills with 120 yards on six receptions in the preseason, and now he's left to hope that production will help him earn a roster spot.
