Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Marquise Brown

Sunday, November 9, 11:41 AM

New York Jets wide receivers Allen Lazard and Adonai Mitchell are both healthy inactives for the team's Week 10 contest on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Despite Josh Reynolds (hip) being on Injured Reserve, Lazard will sit out coming out of the team's bye week. The 29-year-old caught just one of his two targets for five yards in the Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and he has only seven catches for 45 yards and a touchdown in 2025 with the Jets. Mitchell was acquired from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline in the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Colts, but the Jets don't think he's ready to contribute on offense just yet. John Metchie III, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles last week, is active, though, and could be battling for WR2 duties behind Wilson in his debut with the team.

After failing to reach 50 receiving yards in any game between Week 2 and Week 8, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown hauled in two catches for 73 yards on four targets in his team's Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy ahead of him on the Chiefs' wide receiver depth chart, Brown's upside coming out of Kansas City's Week 10 bye is limited. He has not earned more than four targets in any game since Rice returned from the suspension that sidelined him for the first six games of 2025. Brown's big-play ability allows him to maintain some level of fantasy relevance. Still, he will be difficult to trust on a week-to-week basis as long as Kansas City's top pass-game targets can stay on the field. The Chiefs have a tough matchup in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos, making Brown a player for fantasy managers to avoid.
