Who Should I Start? River Cracraft or Braxton Berrios

Thursday, August 14, 9:10 PM

The Washington Commanders have signed wide receiver River Cracraft, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Cracraft has played for three different teams across seven NFL seasons entering 2025, but has never recorded more than nine catches in a single year. He played eight games for the Miami Dolphins in 2024 and caught seven passes for 66 yards and zero touchdowns. The 30-year-old Cracraft is a long shot to make the Commanders' 53-man roster. Still, it's somewhat notable that the team is looking to fortify its wide receiver depth amidst its ongoing contract dispute with star wideout Terry McLaurin.

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing the first two games of the season. Head coach DeMeco Ryans expressed optimism about his availability for the divisional matchup. The veteran slot receiver and return specialist, who previously spent time with the Jets and Dolphins, faces an uphill battle for snaps. With Christian Kirk also on track to return and rookie Jaylin Noel making noise in the return game, Berrios is buried on the depth chart. He should remain well off the fantasy radar in all formats.
