Who Should I Start? River Cracraft or Mecole Hardman

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mecole Hardman (calf) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finishes the game with just one target and zero catches on offense, plus a 61-yard kick return on special teams. However, he also had a zero-yard punt return that resulted in a lost fumble; this is the play where Hardman suffered his injury. Ray Davis and Curtis Samuel will likely handle return duties in his absence.
