Who Should I Start? Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Brian Thomas Jr.

Sunday, December 22, 5:31 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) threw for 157 yards and two interceptions off 20-for-34 passing in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He added nine carries for 49 yards. While DTR got it done as a runner, his ability on the passing end was another story. But it appears Thompson-Robinson will get a chance to make things right, with head coach Kevin Stefanski indicating he will start in Week 17 versus the Dolphins, assuming he's healthy after being bothered by a calf issue during the contest. With that in mind, he isn't the best choice for fantasy lineups, although most fantasy managers have that figured out by this point.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is a must-start in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. In an otherwise awful year for the Jaguars offense, BTJ has been a lone bright spot. Last week against the New York Jets, he put up a whopping 10 catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns, making him one of the top fantasy receivers on the week, all with backup Mac Jones under center instead of starter Trevor Lawrence. The Raiders serve as an even easier option for fantasy receivers than the Jets, so it isn't crazy to think BTJ has the potential for a repeat performance. Even with more realistic expectations, BTJ has the upside and floor of a WR1 in Week 16 against the Raiders.
