Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Justin Jefferson

Thursday, September 21, 9:57 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 on Monday night. It has been a slow start for the Eagles' top target. Through two weeks, Brown has just 11 receptions for 108 scoreless yards. Meanwhile, teammate DeVonta Smith has 11 receptions for 178 yards and two touchdowns. This matchup against Tampa seems like the perfect situation to apply grease to the squeaky wheel in Week 3 for Brown and the Eagles. The Buccaneers have struggled to stop top pass catchers the past two weeks, allowing Justin Jefferson to gain 150 yards in Week 1 and DJ Moore to go for over 100 yards last week. After being visibly upset on the sideline last week about his lack of involvement, expect Brown to see a heavy target share in Week 3. Consider the 26-year-old a top 10 option.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 11-of-13 targets for 159 yards with a lost fumble in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old had a solid first half before losing control of the ball while reaching for the goal line after a big 30-yard play near halftime. Jefferson then had a quiet third quarter before brewing again for three catches and 59 yards during a fourth-period drive which ultimately led to a K.J. Osborn touchdown. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year is now up to an astounding 20 receptions and 309 yards over his first two games, but is still searching for his first visit to the end zone. Jefferson should have a good shot at doing that in Week 3 versus a Los Angeles Chargers defense that was just pulverized by Tyreek Hill for a 11/215/2 receiving line in the season opener.
