Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jordan Addison

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.

While Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has had his share of struggles as he adapts to the NFL, wide receiver Jordan Addison accepted blame for Minnesota's issues in the passing game last week. The Vikings dropped six passes in Sunday's loss against Chicago, including two by Addison, both would-be first downs, one of which had a chance to score a long touchdown. "If I make those types of plays, we win. No doubt," Addison said, according to The Athletic. The third-year receiver had two catches for 20 yards and connected with McCarthy on the go-ahead touchdown in the final minute, but the Vikings' lax kick coverage quickly gave up the advantage as the Bears kicked a field goal as time expired. From a fantasy perspective, Addison has now had four straight weeks of fewer than four catches, making him difficult to trust in standard formats for the time being.
