Who Should I Start? Xavier Weaver or LaJohntay Wester

Saturday, November 15, 6:24 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver is expected to see an expanded role during the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Weaver has barely played this season, and sat out last week's game due to an ankle issue. He appears to be healthy now and ready to make an impact. Weaver could be asked to step up with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game. He figures to serve as the third wideout behind Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch. Weaver hasn't done enough on the field to warrant starting this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver LaJohntay Wester put together a fantastic debut in the team's first preseason game after being drafted in the sixth round out of Colorado. The speedster scored his first touchdown near the end of the first quarter when he returned a punt to the house for 87 yards. He flashed his elusiveness after making the first four tacklers miss, and turned on the burners. Overall, he finished with 104 return yards on three attempts and two receptions for 41 yards on three targets. If Wester continues this level of play, he could find his way into the fourth receiver spot over Devontez Walker and Tylan Wallace.
