Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Brown returned from injured reserve in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Brown was second on the team in catches and targets on 27% of snaps in his first game back. The 27-year-old demonstrated his ability to get open in crucial situations and make explosive plays, which bodes well for his production moving forward. Brown will hope to be more involved against the Steelers, who rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is ranked WR47 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in flex range this week. It won't be easy to start Brown in the fantasy playoffs with just one game under his belt this season, but fantasy managers can consider it.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught two of his three targets for 20 yards in a 24-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. The Browns' No. 1 receiver predictably busted following the team's decision to bench Jameis Winston in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson following Week 15, finishing fourth on the team in receiving yardage. Thompson-Robinson passed for only 157 yards on 34 pass attempts and took five sacks while throwing two picks in the lopsided loss to Cincy. Assuming Cleveland sticks with DTR under center, Jeudy remains borderline unplayable in fantasy heading into a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.
