Who Should I Start? Quez Watkins or Anthony Schwartz

Friday, August 30, 6:01 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Friday that they re-signed wide receiver Quez Watkins to their practice squad after releasing him earlier this week. Watkins will return to Pittsburgh as extra receiving depth to begin the 2024 campaign behind George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III, Scotty Miller and rookie Roman Wilson. The fact that the 26-year-old wasn't able to impress the coaching staff enough during training camp and the preseason to win a 53-man roster spot in one of the weakest WR rooms in the league pretty much says all you need to know about Watkins. He was a sixth-round selection by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of Southern Mississippi and racked up 98 receptions on 147 targets for 1,249 yards and six touchdowns in his four years in Philly over 49 games (25 starts). Watkins is well off the fantasy radar for now in Pittsburgh.

Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Anthony Schwartz is signing with the Miami Dolphins practice squad. The former 2021 third-round pick out of Auburn was waived by the Browns in the offseason with an injury designation. He was later placed on injured reserve and cut with a settlement. With a new contract, Schwartz appears to be healthy and ready to play if called upon. Speed is his calling card, so it's no surprise that Miami would be the team to sign him. He's just the latest former track star to join the roster in South Beach. Schwartz has tallied 14 catches, 186 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown across 25 games in two seasons.
