Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Justin Shorter

Friday, November 14, 9:06 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Robbie Chosen will be one of the team's primary pass catchers for their Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. Chosen has been brought up from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of gameday multiple times, but was signed to the active roster earlier this week. The 32-year-old has caught five of eight targets for 53 yards in two games played for Washington this season. Chosen still poses as a big-play threat at this point in his career, but he's best left on the waiver wire for Week 11.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made a series of back-of-roster moves, elevating third-year wide receiver Justin Shorter to the active roster and signing veteran receiver Phillip Dorsett to fill his spot on the practice squad. The Raiders were able to open a roster spot after moving Amari Cooper to the Reserve/Retired list following his unheralded retirement announcement on Thursday. At 6'4" and 227 pounds, Shorter was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2023 but spent his rookie season on injured reserve. He spent 2024 between the Raiders' active roster and practice squad as he transitioned to playing tight end. He made ten regular-season appearances without registering a stat. While the Raiders search for any depth in the wide receiver room, Shorter's signing should have no significance to fantasy managers.
