Who Should I Start? Laviska Shenault Jr. or Xavier Smith

Friday, March 14, 8:56 AM

The Buffalo Bills have signed free-agent wide receiver/kicker returner Laviska Shenault Jr. to an undisclosed deal. Shenault most recently played 12 games between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers last season. He hasn't done much in the receiving game with five receptions for 36 yards over those 12 games last season. Shenault is better known for his kick returning ability as he averaged nearly 30 yards per return in 2024. He is still capable of making the occasional slash play on offense, but will likely be used mainly as a returner in Buffalo.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Xavier Smith caught four passes for 34 yards on five targets to lead all Rams receivers in Saturday's loss to the Houston Texans in the final preseason game. Smith was efficient in catching four of his five looks but didn't stretch the field much on his catches. The Rams went deep into their depth chart in the last preseason game, giving Smith a big opportunity. He did nicely with his chance but is not someone who will be on the fantasy radar this season.
