Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Kristian Wilkerson

Friday, March 15, 7:06 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent wide receiver Van Jefferson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. After the trade of receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers this week, the move to sign Jefferson will give new quarterback Russell Wilson a new weapon alongside George Pickens and Calvin Austin III. The 27-year-old former second-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 spent time with new Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith with the Atlanta Falcons last year, catching 12 of 28 targets for 101 yards in 12 games (five starts) with the team. The move to Pittsburgh should be a boost for Jefferson's weak fantasy value, but the Steelers could also add to the position in the upcoming NFL draft. In four years in the NFL, Jefferson has 113 receptions for 1,600 yards and 10 touchdowns in 61 games (35 starts).

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson re-signed with the team's practice squad on Tuesday. Wilkerson was released by the Raiders over the weekend but quickly re-signed with them after they cut linebackers Austin Ajiake and Isaac Darkangelo from the practice squad. Wilkerson has appeared in just two games so far this season but hasn't drawn a target. The Raiders passing game still revolves around Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.
