Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Zay Flowers

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.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers continues to see a high volume of targets and continues to impress. The rookie pass-catcher hauled in four of his five targets for 62 yards and received one carry for six yards. While he didn't score, he was second on the team in terms of receiving yards by just one yard. In his first two games, he's seen 15 targets, which is a team-high mark. Flowers' first NFL touchdown is just a matter of time, and if the volume continues, it will be sooner rather than later. Going up against the Colts in Week 3, Flowers should be considered a strong flex option, even with Mark Andrews back in the fold.
