Who Should I Start? Trent Sherfield or Xavier Smith

Tuesday, March 11, 9:09 PM

Free-agent wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. is signing with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday on a two-year, $8 million deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Sherfield will join the Broncos in 2025 after playing in 17 regular-season games (one start) with the Minnesota Vikings last year and catching only eight of his nine targets for 83 yards and one touchdown. The 29-year-old pass-catcher has been with five different teams (Cardinals, 49ers, Dolphins, Bills and Vikings) in the last five seasons, with his best year coming in 2022 with Miami, when he posted a 30-417-2 line in 17 games (four starts). The Vanderbilt product spent the first three years of his NFL career in Arizona before bouncing around on a year-to-year basis. Sherfield is unlikely to make much noise with the Broncos next season while competing for a secondary role with the likes of Marvin Mims Jr., Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Xavier Smith caught four passes for 34 yards on five targets to lead all Rams receivers in Saturday's loss to the Houston Texans in the final preseason game. Smith was efficient in catching four of his five looks but didn't stretch the field much on his catches. The Rams went deep into their depth chart in the last preseason game, giving Smith a big opportunity. He did nicely with his chance but is not someone who will be on the fantasy radar this season.
