Who Should I Start? Jamison Crowder or Noah Brown

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is not ready to have his practice window opened, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The veteran in his 10th NFL season was placed on Injured Reserve on October 2 and is eligible to return, but he is still working his way back from a calf injury. Crowder has tallied 432 receptions for 4,831 yards and 29 touchdowns in 119 career games with Washington, the New York Jets, and the Buffalo Bills, but he has become primarily a return specialist in recent years and is not on the fantasy football radar.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown has struggled to find consistency this season and should continue to be viewed as a risky flex option in deeper formats heading into a Week 12 tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. Over his past two games, Brown has seen 11 total targets but caught only four of them for a mere 37 yards. Before this stretch, Brown scored double-digit PPR points during Weeks 8 and 9. Even though he is being deployed as the clear No.2 option for Terry McLaurin, Brown has been unable to produce consistent fantasy production. Facing the Cowboys, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season, makes Brown a flex option with risk, but he could have a path to success given how often he is on the field.
