Who Should I Start? Hollywood Brown or KaVontae Turpin

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hollywood Brown finished as the fantasy WR24 in his final season with the Ravens in 2021, but he has not since cracked the top 40. In signing a one-year deal with the Eagles this offseason, he finds himself on his fourth team in six seasons, on a depth chart that could prevent him from seeing an every-down role. At 29 years old, the aging speedster has likely lost a step since running an unofficial 4.27-second 40-yard dash at his 2019 Pro Day, and at only 5'9" and 170 pounds, the Eagles could opt to put the bigger, stronger Dontayvion Wicks in A.J. Brown's vacated X-role opposite three-time 1,000-yard receiver DeVonta Smith. Closer to the inside, Brown could be further boxed out by 2026 first-round pick Makai Lemon, leaving him in more of a situational role unlikely to translate to consistent fantasy production. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR103, Brown is by no means a sought-after trade target, but he could still carry enough name recognition to throw in as a finishing piece to a larger deal.
