Who Should I Start? JuJu Smith-Schuster or Robby Anderson

Starting next month, the New England Patriots could cut wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster at a cost of $9.6 million in dead money and no salary cap relief, per Over the Cap, while releasing him before then would incur $2.6 million more in dead money and take a small chunk out of their league-leading $54 million cap room. If the Pats traded Smith-Schuster after June 1, they'd save almost $7 million in cap space and clear room for their young receivers to see more playing time. New England could prioritize playing time for rookies Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker, plus 2023 sixth-rounder Demario Douglas. It all means that Smith-Schuster may no longer be the team's No. 2 receiver, especially with Kendrick Bourne and K.J. Osborn also on the roster.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Robbie Chosen (concussion) was upgraded to limited participation in Thursday's practice after managing no activity on Wednesday. Chosen sustained a concussion in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and hasn't yet cleared each step of the protocol to get in full practice participation. The 30-year-old deep threat has only appeared in seven games for the Dolphins in 2023, catching four of his five passes for 126 yards and one touchdown, but he has a chance for increased playing time with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) looking doubtful to be active on Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens. Any kind of expanded role is still unlikely to be enough to get Chosen onto the fantasy radar as managers look to take home a title in Week 17, but the Dolphins are going to want as much firepower as they can muster against a high-octane Ravens offense.
