Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or AJ McCarron

Wednesday, July 23, 1:20 PM

Per FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, free-agent wide receiver Keenan Allen has drawn interest from multiple teams in recent weeks. Schultz said it's his understanding that Allen has been waiting for training camps to get underway to better assess the landscape and get a clearer picture of each team's receiver situation. Even though the 33-year-old is past his prime, he's still easily one of the top free agents available with training camps starting this week. In his first and only season in Chicago in 2024 with the Bears, the six-time Pro Bowler struggled like the rest of the offense and caught only 70 of his 121 targets for 744 yards, although he did find the end zone seven times for the second straight season in 15 starts. Allen is by no means washed up and still has the tools to make an impact in fantasy, but it will all depend on where he lands.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Wednesday that they released quarterback AJ McCarron. The Bengals signed McCarron back in November for more quarterback depth after starter Joe Burrow (wrist) was lost for the season. The 33-year-old veteran signal-caller appeared in two contests for Cincinnati in relief of Jake Browning down the stretch and went 4-for-5 for 19 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He'll be searching for a new team to play for this offseason. The former fifth-round selection of the Bengals in 2014 out of Alabama has a 63.1 career completion percentage with 1,192 passing yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in his seven years in the NFL with Cincy, the Houston Texans and the Las Vegas Raiders.
