Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jameson Williams

Wednesday, November 26, 5:11 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown could be a sneaky flex play in a high-scoring Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys. Brown was not heavily involved in last week's win over the Colts, catching just one pass for 10 yards, but he could be more involved in a game with the highest total of the week. The Cowboys offense is fourth in points per game and first in yards per game this season, meaning that the passing game should be busy on Thursday. Brown has found the endzone for times this season and has been the WR2 on the team at various times, so his usage can vary from game to game. Brown will also benefit from a Cowboys defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is ranked WR66 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him more of a desperation flex option this week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams went off on Thanksgiving after Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) left early in the first quarter with an ankle injury, recording seven receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Williams was the clear focal point of Detroit's passing offense with St. Brown sidelined, and he delivered with his most targets, receptions, and yards in a game this season. The 24-year-old's touchdown came on what looked like a dead screen play with an unblocked defensive back closing on him, but Williams made him miss and then turned on the jets for a 22-yard score just before halftime. Williams had multiple other explosive chunk gains throughout the game and took advantage of multiple star teammates being sidelined. St. Brown is reportedly expected to miss one to two weeks, which sets Williams up for another strong game in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys.
