Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, October 4, 11:30 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was on the injury report with an ankle injury, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation for Monday night. Brown will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. The 28-year-old had a solid game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, catching three passes for 38 yards and a touchdown. Brown took an expected step back with the return of Xavier Worthy, and this decreased usage should continue against the Jaguars. The Jacksonville defense is middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, and Kansas City is second in pass rate over expectation, so the passing volume should be there for Brown to be productive. Brown is ranked WR42 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was removed from the injury report on Wednesday and will play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. The 22-year-old first-rounder came out of the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a sore left hamstring, but it was never really viewed as anything serious, even heading into a short week. Dart upset the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 in his first NFL start, but he took a step back and committed three turnovers on Sunday to give the Saints their first win of the season. There are going to be plenty of ups and downs for Dart in his rookie season, especially with top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the year. Dart's dual-threat abilities give him upside as a QB2 in fantasy, although he'll be one to fade against a tough Eagles defense that is coming off their first loss of the year.
