Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Brock Bowers

Sunday, December 22, 6:48 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a game-high eight grabs for 97 yards in Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. He also had a touchdown, pulling in a four-yard throw from Kenny Pickett in the first quarter. Jalen Hurts (concussion) was ruled out early in this one. However, Brown still managed to put together one of his best performances of the 2024-25 campaign. With the 27-year-old finding the end zone in each of his last two games, he remains a must-start against the Cowboys in Week 17, even if Hurts isn't cleared to suit up.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers hauled in 11-of-13 targets for 99 yards in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie was at it again on Sunday, leading his team in targets, receptions, and yards. No other Raiders pass-catcher registered more than five receptions or six targets (Ameer Abdullah). It was another standout performance from Bowers, who registered his fourth game of 10 or more catches. The 22-year-old has already smashed Sam LaPorta's year-old reception record of 86 (101) and stands just nine yards shy of tying Mike Ditka's 63-year-old receiving yardage record (1,076). Astounding. He'll have a good shot at exceeding said record in Week 17 when Las Vegas lines up against the New Orleans Saints on the road next Sunday. Bowers is a locked-in TE1.
