Who Should I Start? Simi Fehoko or Tommy Mellott

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.

The Athletic's Tashan Reed reports that Las Vegas Raiders rookie sixth-rounder Tommy Mellott got significant action at slot receiver during an OTA practice this week. The quarterback-turned-receiver made cornerback Darnay Holmes fall on an in-and-out route on one rep before catching a pass from quarterback Geno Smith and turning upfield. Receiver Tre Tucker made the most impressive play of the day on a deep route where he got open over the top of the safety for a diving catch. Tucker started most of last year, but his role could be in jeopardy in 2025 after the Raiders drafted Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech. Mellott is fast and athletic at 6-foot, 208 pounds but will most likely serve in a depth role at wideout in his first year in the NFL while also contributing as a return option on special teams.
