Who Should I Start? Miles Boykin or Gunner Olszewski

The New York Giants signed free-agent wide receiver Miles Boykin on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The former third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame spent the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers after three years with the Baltimore Ravens. In 73 NFL games, the 27-year-old has hauled in just 38 receptions for 498 yards and seven touchdowns. Although New York has one of the weakest wide receiver groups in the league, it's hard to find a path toward fantasy football success for Boykin based on his lack of productivity to begin his career. In all likelihood, he will be a backup wideout or fail to make the 53-man roster ahead of Week 1.

The Pittsburgh Steelers released wide receiver Gunner Olszewski on Friday, according to a source. Olszewski is a productive special-teams player mostly, and now he's free to sign with any team. The 26-year-old is well off the fantasy radar while not really being a factor at all on offense. In just two games with the Steelers this year, Olszewski had one punt return for eight yards and two kickoff returns for 24 yards. He also caught his only target for no gain. Olszewski will likely latch on with another team as a punt and kick-return option, but he can be ignored in fantasy.
