Who Should I Start? Allen Robinson or Noah Brown

The Detroit Lions signed veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson II to their active roster on Thursday. Robinson joins Tim Patrick in being elevated from the practice squad to the active roster this week to give the team more insurance at the receiver position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond and Isaiah Williams (abdomen). In the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Patrick was on the field more than Robinson and caught his only target for an eight-yard gain. Robinson, meanwhile, only played one offensive snap and wasn't targeted. The 31-year-old is strictly receiver depth in Detroit right now and should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats. Last year in 17 starts for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Robinson managed 34 receptions on 49 targets for only 280 yards and no touchdowns.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown enjoyed a nice bounce-back outing last weekend after sitting out in Week 5 and remains a low-end flex option in deeper formats. After missing Week 5 with a groin injury, Brown responded in a big way as he saw a team-high eight targets and brought in four of them for 58 yards. Brown has caught at least three passes in every game he has played this season and has solidified himself as the No.2 option opposite of Terry McLaurin. Brown remains a high-risk, high-reward option in DFS and a low-end flex option in deeper formats this weekend, but could enjoy a breakout game facing a weak Carolina secondary.
