Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Rashid Shaheed

Sunday, October 19, 5:49 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old has found his groove as a big-play threat lately, totaling 15 catches and 244 yards over his last three contests. He was one of several benefactors during this week's strong offensive performance. The passing game found plenty of life as Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for 13 catches, 304 yards, and three touchdowns. This duo will look to build on its momentum when facing a surging Giants squad in Week 8. Brown is a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver at the moment.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed recorded four receptions for 28 yards on six targets in the Week 6 loss to the Patriots. The 28 yards marked a season low for Shaheed, who remains heavily dependent on the deep ball. Unfortunately, quarterback Spencer Rattler ranks just 28th in the league with six yards per attempt, limiting those big-play chances. Shaheed will look to rebound against a Bears defense that has allowed 213 passing yards per game, 15th-best in the league. He remains a touchdown-dependent, boom-or-bust option for Week 7.
