Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Brenden Rice

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.

Free agent wide receiver Brenden Rice is working out for the New Orleans Saints on Monday, according to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. Rice is the son of Hall of Fame wideout Jerry Rice. A seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024, Rice appeared in three games without recording a catch as a rookie and was released by Los Angeles earlier this week. The 23-year-old worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, so there are at least a couple of teams with speculative interest. The Saints have a solid top-four in their wide receiver room between Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Brandin Cooks, and Devaughn Vele. If Rice signs in New Orleans, it would likely be a practice squad deal.
