Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or George Pickens

Saturday, November 8, 4:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is off the final injury report ahead of Monday night's primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Brown missed Philadelphia's Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to the hamstring injury, but had the Week 9 bye to rest and practiced in full every day this week. The star wideout posted his best game of the season last time he suited up in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. That marked Brown's first two-touchdown game since Week 8 of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season to date, but could be in for a big second half as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' passing game have gotten rolling. Brown ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR leagues for Monday night against the Packers.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and finishing as the weekly WR2, WR19, and WR1. In the three games since Lamb's return, Pickens has failed to find the endzone, and he finished as a top-24 wide receiver only once (WR20 in Week 8). However, he has still seen nine targets in two out of three games while averaging nearly 80 receiving yards per game. In Week 11, as many teams start to face inclement weather, the Cowboys will be playing in a dome against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has been one of the most generous to fantasy receivers. Dallas is coming out of their bye week and has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, giving both Lamb and Pickens a legitimate shot to finish as top-12 receivers.
