Who Should I Start? Jordan Matthews or DeVante Parker

Wednesday, October 25, 10:24 AM

Veteran wide receiver/tight end Jordan Matthews signed with the Carolina Panthers as a member of the practice squad on Wednesday. The 31-year-old last played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019, catching four passes for 33 yards in two games. Matthews once posted a 997-yard season, but that was in 2015. In 2023, there's little to no chance he becomes fantasy-relevant, and it's probably a long shot for him to even join the active roster this season. The Vanderbilt alum can be ignored for fantasy football until further notice.

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing veteran wide receiver DeVante Parker to a one-year, $4.96 fully guaranteed deal. Philly will pay just $1.2 million, and New England will cover the rest. Parker was released by the Patriots this week after two seasons with the organization. Since being selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft, Parker has posted just one season of at least 1,000 receiving yards. He has failed to post at least 700 yards in six of his nine NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins and Patriots. In Philadelphia behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, Parker is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar, barring injury.
