Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Marquise Brown

Friday, October 3, 12:57 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was targeted a team-high 11 times on Thursday, ultimately catching five passes for 88 yards in his team's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He has played relatively well this season, but his productivity has been overshadowed by Puka Nacua, who currently ranks as the overall WR1 in fantasy football. An 88-yard outing is nothing to scoff at, but managers were likely hoping for Adams to add a few more catches or a touchdown. His 22 catches on 46 targets this year are not Matthew Stafford's fault, but still concerning nonetheless. Managers should look for the duo to bounce back against the Ravens next week, with Adams ranking as a mid-to-low WR2.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was on the injury report with an ankle injury, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation for Monday night. Brown will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. The 28-year-old had a solid game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, catching three passes for 38 yards and a touchdown. Brown took an expected step back with the return of Xavier Worthy, and this decreased usage should continue against the Jaguars. The Jacksonville defense is middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, and Kansas City is second in pass rate over expectation, so the passing volume should be there for Brown to be productive. Brown is ranked WR42 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.
