A.J. Brown News
Sunday, October 18, 6:45 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) will play a "good amount" of snaps in his return from injured reserve, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Although Brown isn't expected to be 100% on Sunday, it does sound like he'll be pretty close to a full workload. That's great news for fantasy managers, who should feel reassured about starting him as a WR1 in their Week 6 lineups. Brown is returning to this surging Patriots offense at just the right time. Quarterback Drake Maye has completed 48 passes over the last two weeks alone, so there should be plenty of targets and receptions headed Brown's way. New York has been stingier against wide receivers in fantasy football this year, but Brown is matchup-proof and should excel this week, especially with the Patriots projected to win by 7.5 points.

George Pickens News
Saturday, October 17, 12:36 AM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens faces a tough test in a battle to put up WR1 numbers against the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. Pickens has been one of the more disappointing picks in fantasy football this season -- he had a huge game in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but that was after Cowboys WR1 CeeDee Lamb (quadriceps) exited with injury. Aside from that game, Pickens has been the clear WR2 for the Cowboys and has been dominated in targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns by his counterpart. Lamb could be playing hurt in Week 6, which would help Pickens measurably, but we don't know how hampered No. 88 will be. Still, Pickens is a must-start this week, as the Cowboys still have one of the NFL's best offenses for fantasy football and No. 3 showed elite talent as the team's WR1 last season. Treat Pickens as a mid-range WR2 with WR1 upside for his upcoming game against the team he scored 33.4 PPR fantasy points against in Week 4 of last season.
