Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jayden Reed

Tuesday, November 11, 10:00 PM

After failing to reach 50 receiving yards in any game between Week 2 and Week 8, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown hauled in two catches for 73 yards on four targets in his team's Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy ahead of him on the Chiefs' wide receiver depth chart, Brown's upside coming out of Kansas City's Week 10 bye is limited. He has not earned more than four targets in any game since Rice returned from the suspension that sidelined him for the first six games of 2025. Brown's big-play ability allows him to maintain some level of fantasy relevance. Still, he will be difficult to trust on a week-to-week basis as long as Kansas City's top pass-game targets can stay on the field. The Chiefs have a tough matchup in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos, making Brown a player for fantasy managers to avoid.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) will not return to practice on Wednesday, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. "As soon as medical clears him, he'll be out there. I know he's excited to get back, as am I," LaFleur said. The head coach said earlier this week that he's hoping to open Reed's 21-day practice window this week, so it's certainly possible he could practice on Thursday or Friday. However, fantasy managers who have been stashing the 25-year-old wideout since he broke his collarbone in Week 2 shouldn't expect him to play this weekend versus the division-rival Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. In addition to recovering from a broken collarbone, Reed also had surgery for a Jones fracture in his foot. He's expected to be a key part of the offense when cleared, but the Packers might ease him back in, too. The third-year pro could still be several weeks away from making his return.
