Who Should I Start? Russell Gage Jr. or Simi Fehoko

Saturday, September 6, 4:32 PM

The San Francisco 49ers have elevated veteran wide receiver Russell Gage Jr. from the practice squad, meaning he will see his first game action since 2022. Gage missed the past two seasons after suffering a torn patellar tendon, but was previously a reliable WR3 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and quarterback Tom Brady. The 49ers' receiver room is in shambles, with Brandon Aiyuk, Jacob Cowing, and Demarcus Robinson all sidelined. Gage has a chance to see the field in Week 1 as he's expected to serve as the team's WR5 and play limited snaps if needed. While fantasy production isn't likely, simply seeing Gage back on the field after such a long recovery is a great story and an encouraging sign for San Francisco's depth moving forward.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Simi Fehoko was able to grab a second touchdown reception in as many preseason games. During the 20-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday, Fehoko saw two targets and caught one of them for a 10-yard touchdown towards the end of the first quarter. The former fifth-round pick finishes the preseason with three receptions for 31 yards and two touchdowns. While he's still a long shot even in dynasty leagues, Fehoko could be hanging around as a depth option for the Cardinals this season.
