Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Isaiah Bond

Sunday, August 17, 3:56 AM

Wide receiver Robbie Chosen caught five of his seven targets for 92 receiving yards in the 49ers' 22-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. His numbers led the team in each category in San Francisco's second preseason game. The 32-year-old veteran is buried on the depth chart, even with the statuses of Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (calf) in question. Chosen spent each of the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, shuttling between their practice squad and regular roster. The journeyman wideout spent the 2024 preseason with the 49ers but was among the final cuts when the team finalized its 53-man roster ahead of the regular season. Chosen's final in-game audition for a roster spot will come August 23 when the Niners wrap up the preseason against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond is likely to sign soon with the Cleveland Browns, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot, but he also faces possible discipline under the NFL's personal-conduct policy. The league is reviewing Bond's sexual-assault case, which was no-billed on Thursday, according to spokesman Brian McCarthy. Bond said on Thursday that he was planning on signing with the Browns, but the team hasn't officially brought him on board yet and are doing their due diligence given his off-the-field issues. The Browns have opportunity in their receiving corps behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, but it remains to be seen if the 5-foot-11, 180-pounder can do enough to capture a depth role if he is indeed signed. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can ignore him for now, but in dynasty/keeper formats, he's worth a dice roll for sure.
