Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Cameron Ward

Sunday, September 14, 12:36 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles are "looking to get A.J. Brown involved more and early" on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. He noted that the Eagles had several plays dialed up for Brown to get more targets last week, but they didn't work out, and the star receiver finished Week 1 with just one reception. Based on Garafolo's comments, it appears that last week should be treated as an anomaly, and Brown will be more involved in Week 2. An increased target share could come naturally for Brown as the Eagles will be without Dallas Goedert (knee), who caught seven passes in the season opener.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward struggled in his first NFL game, completing 12 of 28 pass attempts for just 112 yards and zero touchdowns against the Denver Broncos. Ward will face another excellent pass defense in Week 2 in the Los Angeles Rams, who held the Houston Texans offense to nine points and Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to 188 passing yards in Week 1. Ward, who was sacked six times in Week 1, may have a tough time avoiding negative plays once again in Week 2. The Rams have a dominant front four led by star edge rusher Jared Verse, and the Titans will be without starting right tackle JC Latham (hip) due to a hip injury. Ward has some long-term fantasy appeal, but he should not be started in Week 2, even in Superflex leagues.
