Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Rashee Rice

Tuesday, December 9, 12:41 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hauled in six of his 13 targets for 100 yards in Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Brown has now posted four straight games with double-digit targets and has topped 100 yards in three consecutive outings after having only one double-digit target game and two 100-yard performances over his first nine games. The star wideout could have had an even bigger day, but he just narrowly missed on a few deep throws from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Brown did, however, drop a pass that led to one of four interceptions for Hurts on the night. The Eagles' WR1 still looks like his dominant self when he's targeted, even with the Eagles' collective struggles on offense. He'll continue to profile as a high-end fantasy option in Week 15 in a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Rice has been the focal point of Kansas City's offense since his return from suspension and has been virtually matchup-proof outside of a down game against Denver, where he caught six passes for 38 yards. The Broncos made it a point to slow down Rice, and the same treatment could be coming his way in Week 14 against a tough Houston defense. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite the matchup, Rice should still be given a heavy dose of targets in what could be a must-win game for Kansas City. Rice was also dealing with a hamstring injury this week, but practiced in full Wednesday through Friday, so he has no injury designation for this week's matchup. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start option despite facing one of the strongest defenses in the NFL.
