Who Should I Start? Velus Jones Jr. or Kalel Mullings

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.

Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) is a strong candidate to operate as the team's No. 2 running back if he's healthy enough to play in Sunday's season opener against the Denver Broncos. There's a void on the depth chart behind Tony Pollard now that Tyjae Spears (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, but Mullings' status is up in the air since he's dealing with an ankle issue of his own. We should get more information on his injury when the Titans publish their first practice report of the season on Wednesday. If Mullings is able to practice in a limited or full capacity at all this week, he'll have a chance to suit up for Week 1. If that happens, he would become an intriguing change-of-pace option behind Pollard while carrying some value as a potential stash in dynasty and redraft leagues. However, if Mullings doesn't play, he can be avoided in redraft formats while Julius Chestnut steps into a bigger role behind Pollard.
