Who Should I Start? Ronnie Bell or Javon Baker

The Detroit Lions have signed wide receiver Ronnie Bell to a reserve/future deal on Tuesday. Bell was waived by the San Francisco 49ers in late November, but he was quickly signed back to the practice squad. The 24-year-old finished the season with two reception for 22 yards in nine games with the 49ers. The former seventh-round pick failed to do much in his two seasons in San Francisco. He'll look to catch on as a depth option with the Lions next season.

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker is signing a practice squad deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. A fourth-round pick of New England's in 2024, Baker was released by the Patriots on Wednesday. The 23-year-old appeared in 11 games for New England as a rookie but recorded just one catch. In Philadelphia, he will be a depth piece behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and John Metchie III. Baker should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in 2025.
