Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Chase Brown

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp is not a great fantasy option in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. He is not receiving enough volume to provide consistent fantasy production. Kupp has been ok in games in which the Seahawks have been forced to put up a lot of points. With the Vikings struggling offensively, the Seahawks should be able to roll to victory in Week 13. Kupp's services are unlikely to be needed. The Vikings are also No. 2 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. While slot receivers such as Kupp are often immune to those types of statistics, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is so indexed on wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba that it does not matter. Kupp should remain out of lineups in Week 13.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown looked good in the Thanksgiving win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 25-year-old didn't find the end zone, although he still got it done for fantasy managers by finishing with 78 yards off 15 carries (5.2 YPC) while catching all seven of his targets for 35 yards. The Bengals were fortunate to get Joe Burrow (toe) back from a lengthy stint on the Injured Reserve list. Unfortunately, Tee Higgins (concussion) didn't suit up after taking a hit in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. The Bengals have a few extra days to recover before the Week 14 meeting with the Bills in Buffalo. While Brown is back to being considered a must-start fantasy option, his ceiling will be higher if Higgins remains sidelined.
