Who Should I Start? Montrell Washington or Tay Martin

Saturday, February 15, 1:27 PM

The New York Giants signed wide receiver Montrell Washington and cornerback Nic Jones to Reserve/Futures deals on Friday. Washington was originally a fifth-round selection (162 overall) by the Denver Broncos in 2022 out of Samford. The 25-year-old pass-catcher made his NFL debut in his rookie year with Denver and caught four of his nine targets for only two yards while carrying the ball five times for 30 yards in 15 contests (one start). He hasn't appeared in an NFL game since and spent most of last season on the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad. Washington will now train with the Giants this offseason and attempt to make their 53-man roster as receiver depth out of training camp this summer. Jones, 23, was a seventh-rounder by the Chiefs in 2023 out of Ball State. He has four solo tackles in 10 NFL games since debuting with KC in 2023.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Tay Martin saw a good chunk of action in the team's 17-13 loss at the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. Martin finished with a team-leading five receptions on seven targets for 58 yards. The 26-year-old went undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2022 and has spent the past two years on San Francisco's practice squad. The 49ers' receiving picture is a little fuzzy, with trade rumors swirling around starter Brandon Aiyuk and an injury to rookie Ricky Pearsall. However, Martin is still competing with many other receivers for a roster spot. He'll likely not be fantasy-relevant this season.
