Deebo Samuel Sr. Ready To Go For Monday Night Against Chiefs

Saturday, October 25, 9:01 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Samuel missed only one game due to the heel injury that he's been managing for a few weeks, and will be joined by fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who returns from a four-game absence because of a quadriceps injury. Samuel has enjoyed an outstanding bounce-back season with Washington through six games, catching 34 of his 43 targets for 315 yards and three touchdowns, and has added eight rushes for 45 yards and another score on the ground. McLaurin's return could take away a few targets, but Samuel has operated as the focal point of the passing attack in his absence. He's shown more downfield ability this year and continues to be one of the best YAC threats in the league. RotoBaller ranks him as WR25 in PPR leagues for Week 8 against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Marquise Brown Looking To Score In Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 4:24 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Washington Commanders in Week 8. After an explosive 10-catch performance in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Brown has caught more than four passes just once. The veteran receiver only caught two passes for 14 yards in Week 7, but he did manage to find the endzone. Brown has recently been a scoring threat for the Chiefs, finding paydirt in three of the last four games. Those touchdowns are the only things keeping Brown's fantasy value afloat since he'll be behind Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Travis Kelce in the pecking order moving forward. He'll look to find the endzone this week against the Commanders, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is ranked WR47 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making a desperation flex play even with six teams on bye this week.
