Who Should I Start? Keith Kirkwood or Marquise Brown

Saturday, November 11, 9:25 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Keith Kirkwood has been waived by the organization on Saturday. This isn't surprising as Kirkwood's snaps have been taking a hit over the last month or so. He was a healthy scratch for each of the last two games. He will finish his 2023 Saints stint with one catch on four targets for four yards. Kirkwood will look to catch on elsewhere, but would likely be a depth option on any organization. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him going forward.

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach acknowledged that new wide receiver Marquise Brown could have a lucrative role with the team in 2024. With Brown now on the roster, the Chiefs feel better about their situation at the receiver position prior to the draft than they would have otherwise. Brown's role could be even more important with Rashee Rice's uncertain future following his arrest on charges stemming from a car crash in March. As things stand right now, Rice, Brown and Justin Watson are the team's top three receivers, with Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney behind them. The 26-year-old Brown, the former 25th overall pick in 2019 by the Cardinals out of Oklahoma, had two disappointing seasons in the desert in which he played in just 26 games due to injuries. But if he can stay healthy in 2024 and Rice faces a suspension, he could be a real value pick in fantasy drafts.
