Who Should I Start? Kendall Hinton or Quez Watkins

Wide receiver Kendall Hinton was let go by the Denver Broncos in a round of cuts on Sunday. The undrafted wide receiver caught 24 passes for 311 yards in the 2022 season, both of which were career-high totals. Hinton is best known for starting a game at quarterback during the 2020 season when the NFL ruled all of Denver's signal callers were ineligible due to exposure to COVID. He was applauded for stepping in, even though the stats (1-for-9 passing for 13 yards and two interceptions) told a different story.

Free-agent wide receiver Quez Watkins is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 25-year-old was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but he has not made much of an impact playing behind star wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith over the last two seasons. However, he adds a much-needed element of speed to the Steelers' wide receiver room, and he can be utilized as a field-stretcher for Russell Wilson in 2024. Watkins has just 98 receptions for 1,249 yards and six touchdowns through his first 49 NFL games. Expect him to serve as the team's WR3 or WR4 this season. Although Diontae Johnson was traded to the Carolina Panthers, the Steelers will likely heavily target the wideout spot in next month's NFL Draft.
