Who Should I Start? Parris Campbell or Jordan Watkins

Saturday, March 15, 7:12 PM

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Parris Campbell on Saturday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. This is not exactly a blockbuster move, but it does give the Cowboys more depth at wideout. The expectation is that Campbell will sit somewhere behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert on the depth chart. The 27-year-old barely saw the field last season as he recorded six receptions for 30 yards with one touchdown in five games with the Philadelphia Eagles. Campbell hasn't exactly been fantasy relevant throughout his career outside of his 623-yard season in 2022. The Cowboys have a handful of capable pass-catchers, so Campbell is unlikely to be fantasy relevant in 2025.

San Francisco 49ers rookie fourth-round wide receiver Jordan Watkins hasn't been perfect in offseason workouts this spring, but The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes that he has stood out in the way that Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) did a year ago. He took a number of snaps with the first-team offense with Pearsall, Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (calf) sidelined, showcasing his speed and fluidity in routes. Watkins doesn't break stride when catching the ball, which makes him an asset on crossing routes that are such a big part of head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense. The 23-year-old also has thick legs and a big lower body, which should help him break tackles and pick up yards after the catch. Watkins had nine total touchdowns at Ole Miss in 2024, and while he probably won't get on the field much in his rookie season, he could be an immediate factor on special teams.
