Who Should I Start? Jordan Matthews or Tank Dell

The Carolina Panthers are releasing wide receiver Cam Johnson and tight end Jordan Matthews on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The team also activated veteran wideout Adam Thielen from Injured Reserve. Johnson went unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Northwestern and has spent time on the Cowboys and Panthers practice squad. Matthews, who began his career as a wide receiver out of Vanderbilt in 2014, has been with Carolina since 2023, but he only played in one game for the organization. These moves do not have any fantasy football impact.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is scheduled to have a second surgery on his knee on Wednesday to fix the torn ACL in his left knee. Dell 's first surgery on Jan. 15 was to address the dislocated kneecap that he suffered in the Dec. 21 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. the 25-year-old also suffered damage to his meniscus and tore his LCL and MCL. Because of the severity of the injury, there's no guarantee that Dell will be able to return in 2025, although he's reportedly headed in the right direction so far. Even when Dell is able to return, whenever that may be, it would be wise to expect him to have lost a step or two. After season-ending injuries to both Dell and Stefon Diggs (knee) in 2024, Nico Collins took over as the clear No. 1 wideout in Houston and was money for fantasy managers. In 14 games in his second season before his injury in 2024, Dell had a 51-667-3 line after scoring seven TDs in his rookie season.
