Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jameson Williams

Saturday, November 1, 2:30 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown has recorded 32 catches for 316 yards and four touchdowns on 49 targets across his first eight games of 2025. However, Brown has seen his role in the offense shrink in recent weeks. After earning at least five targets in each of his first five games of the season, Brown has failed to reach the five-target mark in each of his last three. He was held without a catch on just one target in his most recent outing in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders. With Chiefs wideouts Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy back from the suspension and injury that limited their participation early in the season, Brown appears likely to remain in a marginalized role. Kansas City will play the Buffalo Bills in Week 9 in a matchup that has definite shootout potential. Still, Brown is unlikely to provide fantasy-relevant production if he fails to crack 40% of the team's offensive snaps, a number he hasn't reached since Week 6. Brown profiles as a desperation deep-league flex option in Week 9 against Buffalo.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded just 21 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets across eight games in 2025. However, the 24-year-old has quietly been more productive of late. Williams has recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three outings. He'll get a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19) through nine weeks. They will also be without top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee), who suffered a torn ACL in Week 9. Williams still has bust potential, but he could be set up for a boom week against Washington. Williams profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option in Week 10.
