Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Calvin Austin III

Friday, October 10, 11:43 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Brown has been a serviceable fantasy receiver this season, catching at least four passes or a touchdown in every game. In Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brown caught four of his eight targets for 48 yards. The 28-year-old has been a consistent possession receiver for Kansas City, but has lacked the explosive gains that the Chiefs turn to Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton for. Despite not having any blowup games since Week 1, Brown could see a bump in production on Sunday night against Detroit. The Lions are the highest-scoring team in the league, and Kansas City will likely have to pass early and often to stay competitive. Worthy will be the focal point of the offense, but Brown could be a useful chain-mover in Week 6. Brown is ranked WR48 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Austin was unable to practice for the third straight day on Friday and will need more time to recover from his shoulder injury that he suffered in their Week 4 win over the Vikings. The 26-year-old has been productive when he's played this season, catching 10 of 17 targets for 139 yards and two touchdowns in four games. The Steelers' offense has struggled in the early part of the season, and puts D.K. Metcalf as the only wide receiver worth starting against Cleveland in Week 6.
