Who Should I Start? Trent Taylor or Mason Crosby

Tuesday, April 16, 8:08 PM

The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent wide receiver Trent Taylor to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. It will be a reunion between the two sides after the Niners selected Taylor in the fifth round (177th overall) in 2017 out of Louisiana Tech. The 29-year-old pass-catcher spent the first three years of his NFL career in the Bay Area before two years with the Cincinnati Bengals. He went catchless on two targets in 17 games (zero starts) for the Chicago Bears in 2023. Taylor is most likely to pitch in on special teams for the 49ers after Ray-Ray McCloud left in free agency this offseason. In his six NFL seasons, Taylor has 87 receptions on 137 targets for 834 yards and three touchdowns, with most of the production coming in his first two seasons with the 49ers.

New York Giants kicker Mason Crosby has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants are having some serious problems at kicker with Graham Gano (knee) and Randy Bullock (hamstring) on the injured reserve and Cade York (quad) on the practice squad injured list. That being said, Crosby is likely to remain the team's kicker through the final two games of the regular season. He made his lone field goal attempt and both extra point chances during last week's game. He won't be a great streaming option given the offensive struggles of the Giants.
