Who Should I Start? Tim Patrick or Deon Cain

Friday, March 8, 12:24 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (Achilles) agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the organization for the 2024 season. The 30-year-old has missed each of the last two seasons after suffering a torn ACL and torn Achilles in his last two training camps, but it appears he's going to try to extend his career. In 2021, he caught 53 passes for 734 yards and five touchdowns. Although the new contract is a good sign for his recovery from two major injuries, he's unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in 2024. He's beyond the wide receiver age apex, and he's likely to be extremely rusty after two full years away from football.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Deon Cain caught 6-of-9 targets and gained 62 yards during the team's 27-13 preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Philadelphia played almost exclusively backups during the preseason finale in an attempt to figure out who would make the final roster after cutdowns, with the 27-year-old looking like the most complete receiver Thursday night. Tyrie Cleveland was the standout through the first few weeks of the preseason. However, he was waived due to injury, leaving the likes of Cain, Joseph Ngata, Devon Allen, and the newly signed Freddie Swain fighting for one of the final wide receiver spots on the roster. After last night's performances, Cain and Swain will likely be the final two in contention. Whoever is cut will likely revert to the practice squad.
