Who Should I Start? Marcus Kemp or Daurice Fountain

Monday, August 28, 7:21 PM

The Washington Commanders released veteran wide receiver Marcus Kemp on Monday, according to a source. Kemp spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants last year, but didn't have a single target in three active contests with the Chiefs. In five seasons in the NFL, he has just four catches on eight targets for 42 yards in 47 games (zero starts). The 28-year-old is mostly an asset on special teams while also providing depth in the receiver room. He will now hope to catch on with another organization before the start of the 2023 regular season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Daurice Fountain led the team in receiving and got into the endzone in Saturday's preseason loss against the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old hauled in five catches on six targets for 86 receiving yards, including a 35-yard jump ball touchdown from Nathan Peterman in the fourth quarter. Despite this dominant performance, several receivers are currently ahead of Fountain on the depth chart. While it will be challenging for Fountain to get a spot on the 53-man roster, he is still someone to watch regardless of the outcome.
