Who Should I Start? Phillip Dorsett or Kameron Johnson

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers second-year wide receiver Kameron Johnson recorded the first four catches of his career in Week 6, finishing with 64 receiving yards and a touchdown in his team's 30-19 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Johnson was forced into action due to injuries to Buccaneers wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (leg), Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), and Jalen McMillan (neck). Tampa Bay could be getting at least one of its injured wide receivers back in Week 7, but the team also might be without all four once again. If that's the case, Kameron Johnson, Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard would be the lead candidates for playing time in a juicy Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Kameron Johnson could be a waiver-wire priority for fantasy managers, pending more news on the Bucs' injured wideouts.
