Who Should I Start? Laquon Treadwell or Marquez Valdes-Scantling

The Baltimore Ravens waived wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and placed defensive back Damarion Williams (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Monday. Treadwell has bounced around from the team's practice squad and the 53-man roster in 2023. The 28-year-old former first-rounder only appeared in five games with Baltimore and had one reception on three targets for 16 yards in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers when the Ravens were resting a lot of their regulars. Williams began the 2023 season on Injured Reserve after having ankle surgery. He was activated from IR before Week 15 but was inactive for the next three games before finally making his season debut in Week 18.

The Kansas City Chiefs are releasing wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling ahead of free agency in a cap-saving move. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the team saves $12 million on the cap. The veteran speedster spent two seasons with the Chiefs, totaling 63 receptions for 1,002 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 33 games. He wasn't overly productive, but he did catch two touchdowns in the 2022 playoffs and caught a touchdown in the victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. Valdes-Scantling is unlikely to sign a big-money deal this offseason, but his field-stretching skill set will be attractive to a few teams.
