Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is missing a second day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com. Brown didn't appear to be injured at all in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, in which he caught two touchdowns, but he missed his first practice of the year on Wednesday and followed it up with another DNP on Thursday. The 28-year-old looks to be in real danger of missing the Week 8 rematch against the division-rival New York Giants this Sunday unless he can return to practice in some fashion on Friday. The good news is that he was spotted working out on the side during Thursday's practice, so there's still hope that he can play this weekend if he practices on Friday. Brown has looked much better in the last two games, catching 10 passes on 15 targets for 201 yards and two touchdowns.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup versus the Jets. The 22-year-old was trending in the right direction after logging full practice sessions on Thursday and Friday, so he'll make his return after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 3 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Sanders had 11 catches (14 targets) for 92 yards before going on the shelf. While he hasn't been productive throughout his career, desperate fantasy managers can look in his direction against a weak Jets defense. Sanders' return should mean less work for Tommy Tremble, who had four grabs for 39 yards in the Week 6 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
