Who Should I Start? Phillip Dorsett or David Sills V

Free agent defensive back Jamal Adams and wide receiver Phillip Dorsett signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday. Adams is a three-time Pro Bowl safety and is reunited with Pete Carroll in Las Vegas. The 29-year-old reportedly is in great shape heading into camp and did have some of his better years while playing under Carroll in Seattle. Adams racked up seven tackles over five games with the Lions and Titans last season. The former New York Jet provides the Raiders more depth in the secondary but is not on the fantasy radar for IDP leagues. As for Dorsett, he hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2023 and will need to have a standout camp to make the roster. In his career, the 32-year-old has racked up 151 receptions for 2,001 yards and 12 touchdowns with six different teams over eight NFL seasons. Dorsett is a non-factor in fantasy, even if he does make the Raiders as a depth piece.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V has caught touchdown passes in consecutive weeks, although he's done it while totaling four catches for 31 yards in those two games combined. The 29-year-old's opportunity has come while Drake London (knee) has been sidelined with injury the last couple of weeks, and that will again be the case in Week 14. The 6-foot-3 wideout provides a big target in the red zone compared to some of the other receiving options for the Falcons, but it could be tough to keep the scoring streak alive in Week 14 against Seattle, a defense that has yielded the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers for the season and is yielding just 152.7 yards per game through the air over their last three games. Atlanta has an implied total of just 19 points in this matchup, so there could be limited scoring opportunities, although, as seven-point underdogs, the Falcons may have to throw it to keep up. Either way, Sills makes for a risky play with trips to the fantasy playoffs on the line in many leagues, so he's really only a viable option in the deepest of leagues, or perhaps a DFS tournament play.
