Who Should I Start? Tom Kennedy or Dax Milne

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy has spent most of the 2025 season buried on the Lions' practice squad. However, he was pressed into action in Week 13 due to injuries to Lions wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and Kalif Raymond (ankle) and recorded four catches for 36 yards on four targets against the Green Bay Packers. With Raymond ruled out and St. Brown officially questionable for Detroit's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, Kennedy could spend another week as the team's primary slot receiver. Dallas represents a favorable matchup for opposing passing games on paper, as they currently rank last in the NFL in both passing yards (3,234) and passing touchdowns (28) allowed. Kennedy's production upside is limited, and it's also likely entirely dependent on St. Brown's status. If St. Brown is active, Kennedy should fall off the radar of fantasy managers. However, if St. Brown is ruled out, Kennedy could be a desperation deep-league flex option in Week 14.

The Carolina Panthers released wide receiver Dax Milne on Thursday, along with another slew of roster cuts. The 2021 seventh-round pick by the Washington Commanders out of BYU spent most of last season on Carolina's practice squad following stints in Washington and Las Vegas. Overall, the 25-year-old has played in 28 career games (none since 2022), racking up 15 receptions for 120 yards and one touchdown. He also has 40 career punt returns and 15 career kickoff returns. Based on his inability to crack an active roster and his early-offseason release, it would be a surprise if he makes an impact for a team anytime soon.
