Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Marquise Brown

Sunday, October 12, 8:39 AM

New York Jets running back Khalil Herbert and wide receiver Allen Lazard are inactive ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos. As expected, Lazard is out as he didn't make the trip to England due to personal reasons. His absence won't mean much for this offense given he has four receptions for 24 yards and one touchdown this season. Arian Smith figures to see a majority of the snaps as the third wideout. As for Herbert, he's a healthy scratch as he's too far down on this depth chart to make a serious impact. Kene Nwangwu figures to do the kick returning with Herbert out.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Brown has been a serviceable fantasy receiver this season, catching at least four passes or a touchdown in every game. In Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brown caught four of his eight targets for 48 yards. The 28-year-old has been a consistent possession receiver for Kansas City, but has lacked the explosive gains that the Chiefs turn to Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton for. Despite not having any blowup games since Week 1, Brown could see a bump in production on Sunday night against Detroit. The Lions are the highest-scoring team in the league, and Kansas City will likely have to pass early and often to stay competitive. Worthy will be the focal point of the offense, but Brown could be a useful chain-mover in Week 6. Brown is ranked WR48 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.
