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

Sunday, November 16, 11:35 AM

During a 10-minute meeting with Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, wide receiver A.J. Brown vowed that he'll stop complaining about the offense on social media, according to Sal Paolantonio of ESPN. Brown's meeting with Lurie was described as "highly unusual" and occurred during Thursday's practice after security chief Dom DiSandro ushered him to the owner. Brown has made his displeasure known this season, most recently complaining about the state of the Eagles' offense during a live stream on Twitch. While Brown vowed to stop complaining publicly, Lurie told him that he didn't need to apologize for his actions. The receiver explained that he "just wants to be a part of the offense and is frustrated," and the two hugged as the meeting ended. The 28-year-old has been underwhelming with 31 catches, 408 yards, and three touchdowns this season, but his frustration has stopped short of a trade request. In fact, he remains under contract through 2029, though it's possible that Philadelphia could bring his name up in trade talks next offseason. For now, though, he'll remain with the Eagles, looking to bounce back from a 10-week span that saw him rank as the overall WR39 in fantasy football. His first opportunity to get back on track will come on Sunday in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Rice returned from suspension in Week 7 and has been nothing short of spectacular for fantasy since. The 25-year-old stepped back into his WR1 role, earning 26 targets and scoring four touchdowns in three games heading into the team's Week 10 bye. With only a three-game sample size, Rice has the most points per game among wide receivers this season. Despite his incredible start, Rice will have to contend with Denver this week. The Broncos defense is the toughest matchup for wide receivers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Rice will need to link up with Patrick Mahomes often and in the red zone to manage a strong fantasy performance. Rice is ranked WR6 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start WR1 despite facing the toughest matchup for receivers this season.
