Who Should I Start? Terrace Marshall Jr. or Tommy Mellott

Thursday, April 10, 6:30 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. on an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Marshall will not be anywhere near the fantasy radar as he looks to provide depth at the position behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The 24-year-old is coming off a 2024 season with the Las Vegas Raiders in which he had only three receptions on six targets for 41 yards and no touchdowns in seven games played (one start). The former second-round pick (59th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in 2021 out of LSU caught a combined 64 passes for 767 yards and just one touchdown on 110 targets in his three seasons with the Panthers from 2021-23. Marshall will be competing with the likes of Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson, among others, for a 53-man roster spot.

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.
