Who Should I Start? Trent Taylor or Kaden Davis

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Kaden Davis caught all three of his targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Davis made a splash in the win, catching both of Shedeur Sanders' touchdown passes in the contest. The second-year wideout played sparingly for the Browns on special teams in 2024 but is looking to carve out a larger role as a pass-catcher heading into his sophomore season. He will look to stay hot in Cleveland's second preseason game, which will be next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
