Who Should I Start? Quez Watkins or Elijah Moore

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught one of his two targets for seven yards and added a one-yard rush in his team's 37-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in preseason action on Saturday. Moore got the start and played with the first team in what was his first taste of preseason action. With both Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy inactive, Moore operated as the team's top receiver for the first two drives of the game before calling it a night. The addition of Jeudy to the Cleveland offense will cut into Moore's production this season, making it tough to roster him in redraft formats.
