Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jayden Reed

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) won't play on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions, but there's a solid chance that he will be able to return in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. Reed has been sidelined since Week 2 after suffering a broken collarbone and was listed as limited in practice every day this week. Head coach Matt LaFleur kept the possibility of the 25-year-old returning on Thursday on the table before he was eventually ruled out, and there's hope that he will be activated from injured reserve soon. In the meantime, Reed remains a strong stash option for fantasy managers as he could return to a prominent role in Green Bay's passing attack alongside Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.
