Who Should I Start? Shi Smith or Britain Covey

Free-agent wide receiver Shi Smith signed with the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday. Smith spent the previous two years with the Carolina Panthers before they released him ahead of the 2023 season, accumulating 28 catches for 400 yards and two touchdowns across 23 games. In Tennessee, Smith will look to carve out a role behind wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. It is unlikely that Smith makes a fantasy impact in the run-first Titans offense, even if he does get elevated from the practice squad at some point.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey (concussion) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old was removed from the Eagles' Week 4 victory over the Washington Commanders after taking a blow to the head and entered the concussion protocol the following day. He did not practice to start the week, but his availability improved as the week progressed logging a limited practice on Thursday and a full practice on Friday. His status for Week 5 is still uncertain. Covey sees little work for Philadelphia's offense but is the team's primary punt returner.
