Who Should I Start? Zay Jones or Ja'Lynn Polk

The Arizona Cardinals are re-signing wide receiver Zay Jones to a one-year, $4.4 million deal, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 29-year-old signed with Arizona last May but was suspended for the team's first five games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Overall, he played in 11 contests and totaled eight receptions for 84 yards. In addition to the Cardinals, Jones has spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, and Jacksonville Jaguars during his eight-year NFL career. He has posted more than 600 receiving yards just once in his career, so it would be a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in 2025.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk (undisclosed) missed another training camp practice on Thursday with what is considered minor muscle tightness, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. The Patriots are playing it safe with Polk early in camp, but any practice he misses could be crucial for last year's second-round pick who is battling for a roster spot this summer. The 23-year-old was previously dealing with a shoulder injury earlier this offseason, but he passed his physical, which is why he was left off the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin camp. Polk has plenty of ground to make up after he caught only 12 passes in 15 games for New England as a rookie in 2024. He will have opportunities with this new coaching staff, but it won't be easy to find playing time in what is now a somewhat crowded receiver room.
