Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Christian Watson

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Brown had a serviceable performance in Week 11, catching four passes for 40 yards against the Denver Broncos. While he did not have a big game, Brown finished third on the team in receiving yards against a tough opponent. Fellow wide receiver Xavier Worthy got a full practice in on Friday but is officially listed as questionable, which could boost Brown's fantasy value. Brown could fill the field-stretching role while Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce compete for the short and intermediate targets against Indianapolis. The Colts defense is an advantageous matchup, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is currently ranked WR64 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex candidate, but that ranking would climb dramatically if Worthy is ruled out.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson didn't have a huge day in the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but he led the Packers in receiving in the convincing 23-6 victory. Watson led the team in targets (seven), receptions (five), and receiving yards (49). He didn't make his season debut until Week 8 while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 18 of last year, but he has slowly developed into quarterback Jordan Love's most trusted option through the air. The 26-year-old former second-rounder has seen at least four targets in each of his five games this year, and he has caught at least four passes in three of those contests. Watson had a season-high 85 receiving yards in his debut back on Oct. 26, and he found the end zone twice in last week's win over the Giants. His target share could take a hit whenever Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) returns from IR, but at the very least, Watson deserves to be rostered as an explosive deep threat. He's still rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues.
