Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or DeMario Douglas

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas has been highly underwhelming this season, and that should remain the case during Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. The 24-year-old has just seven catches for 30 yards and one touchdown, taking a backseat to Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, and Hunter Henry, among others. In addition to his poor stat totals so far, he lacks fantasy appeal because of his matchup. Douglas runs most of his routes in the slot -- 73.3%, to be exact -- and the Saints have allowed the fewest points to slot receivers in 2025. He should be left on waivers for the time being.
