Who Should I Start? Trent Taylor or David Sills V

Wednesday, June 4, 6:35 PM

The San Francisco 49ers announced on Tuesday that they placed wide receiver Trent Taylor (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve and signed receiver Malik Knowles to an undisclosed one-year deal in a corresponding move. It's unclear exactly what Taylor's injury is, but he's now expected to miss the entire 2025 season. The 31-year-old former fifth-round pick (177th overall) in 2017 out of Louisiana Tech spent the first three years of his career in the Bay Area before going to the Cincinnati Bengals for two years and the Chicago Bears in 2023. In just two games in his return to the Niners last season, Taylor caught his only target for an 11-yard pickup. Taylor has been a depth piece in his career and has a total of 88 receptions for 845 yards and only three touchdowns on 138 targets over 80 games played (three starts) since debuting in 2017.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Davis Sills V should be in line for more work in Week 12 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints after Drake London (knee) suffered a PCL sprain in the overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. should be quarterback Kirk Cousins' top targets for however long London is sidelined, but Sills inevitably should see more looks as well. The 29-year-old caught one of his two targets in the Week 11 loss for 11 yards, which was his second-best game of the year. In his first year in Atlanta, he's only caught four of his nine targets for 34 yards in 10 games, so it would be unreasonable to expect him to suddenly go off in fantasy in the coming weeks with London injured. Still, Sills is worth a look off the waiver wire in deeper leagues for WR depth. He's currently available in 100% of Yahoo leagues.
