Who Should I Start? Nick Nash or Isaac TeSlaa

Undrafted wide receiver Nick Nash did not make the Atlanta Falcons' initial 53-man roster but will remain with the team via its practice squad, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi. Nash played well in the preseason, hauling in six catches for 87 yards in the team's final exhibition contest against the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old was named an All-American in his final collegiate season at San Jose State in 2024, recording 104 catches for 1,382 yards and 16 touchdowns in 12 games. The Falcons currently have seven wide receivers on their active roster, so Nash has an uphill climb to a chance at playing time in 2025.

Heading into Week 10, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has now gone three games since recording his last reception. The 23-year-old has two touchdown catches on the season, but he's hauled in just three passes for 54 yards on six targets across eight games played. The Lions have a favorable matchup on paper against the Washington Commanders in Week 10. Through nine weeks, the Commanders rank last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). Still, TeSlaa is buried on the target pecking order in Detroit behind wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, tight end Sam LaPorta, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. TeSlaa maintains some long-term fantasy appeal, but he can't be trusted as a starting wide receiver in Week 10.
