Who Should I Start? D.K. Metcalf or A.J. Brown

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was quiet in a Week 12 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf caught four passes for 59 yards on five targets. Since his return from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has not produced the high-end numbers fantasy managers are accustomed to. Additionally, fellow wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as an excellent weapon for the Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith. Still, Metcalf's talent is too strong to ignore. He is unlikely to stay quiet for long. This is especially true considering that the Seahawks are entering a stretch run of the season in which they have a chance to take control of the NFC West. They do not have an egregious schedule for wide receivers ahead and should be able to produce solid numbers in the passing game. It is only a matter of time before Metcalf finds his way back into the high-end WR2 conversation.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught six of seven targets for 109 yards and a touchdown during the team's 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old hit paydirt for the first time since Week 7 and snapped his fantasy cold streak of four weeks with a great performance in a game where the Eagles dominated. Saquon Barkley was the top headline maker in this game, but Brown deserves a ton of credit for how his presence is enough to throw off a defense and make stopping both him and Barkley near impossible. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did miss this game and may miss next week as well, leaving Brown with a juicy matchup against the Ravens.
