Who Should I Start? Tyron Johnson or Donovan Peoples-Jones

Sunday, August 27, 12:09 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tyron Johnson turned six targets into five catches for 90 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 27-year-old delivered a solid outing, but it might have been too little, too late. Constructing an NFL roster is a numbers game and Johnson isn't expected to make the team. With that said, Saturday's performance will certainly make him a practice squad candidate and could even earn him a depth spot on another team's 53-man roster.

The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones to their practice squad on Thursday after releasing him on Tuesday. In other moves, the team placed defensive lineman John Cominsky (knee) on Injured Reserve and released safety C.J. Moore from the practice squad. Peoples-Jones will remain in the Detroit organization as wideout depth to start the 2024 regular season. He began last year with the Browns before joining the Lions for eight games (one) start, where caught just five passes for 58 yards. The 25-year-old former sixth-round pick by the Browns in 2020 out of Michigan struggled last year after a career year in 2022 in Cleveland in which he had a 61-839-3 line in 17 games (14 starts). DPJ should eventually see time in Detroit again in 2024 if any of the receivers on the 53-man roster go down with an injury, but he's currently off the fantasy radar.
