Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Terry McLaurin

Sunday, November 23, 9:17 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown delivered a vintage performance in his team's 24-21 Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, hauling in eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. The 28-year-old has spent most of the 2025 season publicly agitated by his role in Philadelphia's underwhelming pass game. However, Brown has now seen double-digit targets in each of the last two weeks. Across 10 games for the season, he's recorded 46 catches for 567 yards and four touchdowns on 75 targets. Brown's increased involvement in recent games could be a sign that he is getting back on the same page with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. While Brown hasn't provided the consistent production fantasy managers were hoping for before the start of the season, he remains a starting fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is "excited about the possibilities" when asked about his optimism level for wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returning in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, according to JP Finlay of NBC4 Sports. Quinn added that they need to see his speed and burst for a few days before the team can get overly optimistic about his chances to return. McLaurin was back at practice on Monday, Washington's first practice after their Week 12 bye, although it was reported as more of a jog through. The 30-year-old wideout suffered a quadriceps injury during Washington's Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, then returned in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs before re-aggravating the injury and has been sidelined since. McLaurin has recorded 13 receptions (21 targets) for 203 yards and a touchdown in four games this season, and could be on track to return to action as soon as Sunday night against the Denver Broncos if everything goes well in his recovery.
