Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Justin Jefferson

There appears to be no change in the dynamic between the Philadelphia Eagles and wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is still frustrated about the offense, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Brown is expected to continue making comments critical of the Eagles' offense, with Garafolo noting that many have been loosely directed at quarterback Jalen Hurts. Most recently, Brown expressed displeasure on a live Twitch stream. The prominent receiver did meet with owner Jeffrey Lurie following the Twitch stream, but he did not apologize for his comments. While the relationship between team and player appears messy, Garafolo reports that Brown had similar criticisms of the offense last year, but it didn't stop the team from winning a Super Bowl. It remains to be seen just how far this saga goes and whether it could result in the Eagles trading Brown next offseason, despite having him signed through 2029.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 when the Vikings play host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The superstar has been quieter than normal during the past month as backup quarterback Carson Wentz and second-year starter J.J. McCarthy lead the charge for an up-and-down offense, but Jefferson still has been earning a ton of targets. McCarthy has targeted Jefferson 21 times in the past two weeks but only connected on 10, though the pair collaborated for a tide-turning touchdown in the first meeting against Chicago that sparked a fourth-quarter comeback. The Bears rank 24th against PPR receivers, offering a chance for Jefferson to break his cold streak. The Vikings likely will be erratic as they break in a 22-year-old QB, but the matchup and Jefferson's ability should have the superstar locked into lineups in all formats.
