Who Should I Start? Malik Taylor or Mason Kinsey

Monday, May 12, 9:38 PM

The Detroit Lions announced on Monday that they signed free-agent tight end Luke Deal, wide receiver Malik Taylor and defensive lineman Raequan Williams while waiving tight end Caden Prieskorn in a corresponding move. Deal, Taylor and Williams impressed Detroit's coaching staff enough after trying out in the team's rookie minicamp over the weekend. Deal will provide depth for the Lions behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright if he makes the team after recording 17 catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns in 65 games (19 starts) over six seasons at Auburn. Taylor was on Injured Reserve all of last year with the New York Jets due to an undisclosed injury, but evidently he's healthy now. The 29-year-old entered the NFL in 2020 with the Green Bay Packers and has just nine catches on 13 targets for 93 yards and one touchdown in 28 games (one start) over three seasons.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Mason Kinsey caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in the 24-16 preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings. Kinsey has floated between the team's active roster and practice squad since 2021 and will likely be cut or signed to the practice squad this year. The Berry College product has stuck around the organization, but there's a minuscule chance he's on the fantasy radar at any point during the 2023 season.
