Who Should I Start? River Cracraft or Velus Jones

Friday, March 21, 10:31 PM

The Seattle Seahawks announced on Friday that they have signed free-agent wide receiver River Cracraft to an undisclosed deal. The Seahawks continue to add receiver depth this offseason after releasing veteran Tyler Lockett and trading DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cracraft will merely be providing depth at the position behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The 30-year-old veteran and former undrafted free agent out of Washington State heads to the NFC West after spending the last three years with the Miami Dolphins, where he caught only 25 passes on 35 targets for 289 yards and three touchdowns in 29 games (one start). In his seven seasons in the NFL, Cracraft has 32 receptions, 374 yards and three touchdowns on 46 targets in 53 games (two starts). He will continue to be off the fantasy radar in all leagues in 2025 in Seattle.

The New Orleans Saints have signed free-agent wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. to a one-year deal. Jones is a former third-round pick of the Chicago Bears from 2022. He was never able to make much of an impact in Chicago and was waived by the team in October. Jones finished out last season with the Carolina Panthers, but he didn't see much of the field over there. He'll compete for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp and could serve as a depth option or kick returner if he's able to make the team.
