Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Brandon Johnson

The Washington Commanders released wide receiver Robbie Chosen on Friday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. The Commanders added Chosen to their practice squad in mid-November due to injuries to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger). McLaurin is set to return in Week 13 to face the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, though, and Noah Brown (groin, knee) could also be back from Injured Reserve this weekend, so the Commanders don't have the need for Chosen as WR depth anymore. The 32-year-old veteran appeared in only three games with Washington and caught five of his nine targets for 53 yards and no touchdowns. He will now go back onto the open market as he seeks to latch on with another team as WR depth for the rest of the 2025 season.

The Denver Broncos waived wide receiver Brandon Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. In addition to Johnson, the Broncos also parted ways with Tim Patrick, who quickly signed with the Detroit Lions, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and David Sills to trim their roster down to 53 by the deadline. Johnson improved in Year 2 with Denver last year by catching 19 of his 30 targets for 284 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games (two starts), but he wasn't able to make the final cut this summer after the offseason additions of Josh Reynolds and rookie fourth-rounder Troy Franklin. The 26-year-old rejoin the Broncos practice squad to give the team additional depth during the regular season, though. Johnson joined Denver as an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida in 2022.
