Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Joshua Palmer

Friday, October 10, 11:43 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Brown has been a serviceable fantasy receiver this season, catching at least four passes or a touchdown in every game. In Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brown caught four of his eight targets for 48 yards. The 28-year-old has been a consistent possession receiver for Kansas City, but has lacked the explosive gains that the Chiefs turn to Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton for. Despite not having any blowup games since Week 1, Brown could see a bump in production on Sunday night against Detroit. The Lions are the highest-scoring team in the league, and Kansas City will likely have to pass early and often to stay competitive. Worthy will be the focal point of the offense, but Brown could be a useful chain-mover in Week 6. Brown is ranked WR48 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer continues to be a non-factor in the team's offense, seeing just two targets in Week 5 despite playing 51% of offensive snaps against New England. Since his nine-target outing in Week 1, Palmer has failed to see more than three looks in any game, making it clear he's fallen down Buffalo's receiving hierarchy. With Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman commanding more consistent opportunities and the Bills leaning on their ground game, Palmer's path to fantasy relevance remains nonexistent. He can safely be left on waivers in all formats, as his current role offers little to no upside heading into Week 6.
