Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Jakobi Meyers

Friday, October 10, 12:31 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught six of his nine targets for 80 yards during Thursday's Week 6 loss to the New York Giants. Brown tied his season high in receptions and now has at least eight targets in five consecutive games. While his yardage has varied from week to week, and he still has just one touchdown this year, the star receiver appears to be trending in the right direction following his early-season frustrations. He should rank as a solid WR2 option for Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) is not participating in practice on Thursday despite offensive coordinator Chip Kelly saying he expected him to, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Despite playing 90% of the offensive snaps in the Week 6 win over the Tennessee Titans, Meyers has missed both practices so far this week, putting him in danger of missing the Week 7 game this Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old will need to return to practice on Friday to have a shot at being active this weekend. With tight end Brock Bowers (knee) expected to miss a third straight game, the Raiders would be missing their top two pass-catchers if Meyers is also unavailable. Receiver Tre Tucker and tight end Michael Mayer could be heavily targeted. Meyers hasn't shown much chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith this year and did not take advantage of Bowers missing the last two weeks.
