Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jonathan Taylor

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown could be in line for a significant target volume going forward, given the current state of the team's wide receiver room. Top wideout Rashee Rice will miss the first six games of the season due to suspension, and WR2 Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is week-to-week after dislocating his shoulder in Kansas City's season opener. Without Worthy and Rice on the field, Brown was targeted sixteen times in Week 1, recording 10 catches for 99 yards. The 28-year-old Brown should be added in all leagues and could be a must-start wide receiver in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles if Worthy is unable to play.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that running back Jonathan Taylor (neck) is "good" after he took an awkward hit to his neck area in Sunday's Week 1 blowout win over the Miami Dolphins, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Steichen added that Taylor could have gone back into the game, but with the Colts up big in the second half, it wasn't worth it. The Colts also took the opportunity to get an extended look at rookie DJ Giddens with Tyler Goodson (elbow) inactive. Taylor had 18 carries for 71 yards and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in the 33-8 win before departing and not returning. It was a bummer to see quarterback Daniel Jones fall into the end zone at the goal line instead of Taylor, but all in all, it was a plus for JT's fantasy managers to see Indy's offense humming in Week 1. Taylor should be able to play in Week 2, albeit against a much stouter Denver Broncos defense.
