Who Should I Start? Kevin Austin Jr. or Xavier Weaver

Monday, August 11, 11:15 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. led the team in targets Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, hauling in four of five chances for 42 yards. The third-year pro looks to be in play for a depth receiver role on a Saints team in the midst of a quarterback battle. New Orleans is giving a long look to quarterbacks Tyler Though and Spencer Rattler in the preseason, while the receiver room is paced by Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and veteran Brandin Cooks. Austin could be a factor given some of the injury histories elsewhere on the roster, but the Saints' offense looks to be a work in progress.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing Friday's practice. The Cardinals are extremely short-staffed at wide receiver with Weaver, Greg Dortch (chest), and Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) all sidelined. Wide receiver Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride will operate as Arizona's top targets. Andre Baccellia, Trent Sherfield, and Jalen Brooks will round out the rest of the wide receiver room.
