Who Should I Start? Velus Jones Jr. or Isaac TeSlaa

Sunday, March 16, 9:25 AM

The New Orleans Saints have signed free-agent wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. to a one-year deal. Jones is a former third-round pick of the Chicago Bears from 2022. He was never able to make much of an impact in Chicago and was waived by the team in October. Jones finished out last season with the Carolina Panthers, but he didn't see much of the field over there. He'll compete for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp and could serve as a depth option or kick returner if he's able to make the team.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has recorded eight catches for 120 yards and four touchdowns on 14 targets across 13 games so far this season. The 23-year-old's most productive stretch has been over the last two weeks, where he's hauled in four receptions for 55 yards and two touchdowns on five targets. The Lions have played each of their last two games without wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle), which has opened the door for TeSlaa to fill the team's WR3 role alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. However, Raymond returned to practice in a limited capacity this week and is officially listed as questionable for Detroit's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. If Raymond returns, it could significantly impact TeSlaa's playing time. Should Raymond remain sidelined, TeSlaa could have flex appeal as a touchdown-dependent dart throw for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 15.
