Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Joshua Palmer

Sunday, August 31, 1:32 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot/ankle) recently returned to practice after recovering from a training camp injury. His Week 1 status is still uncertain, but Chiefs writer Nate Taylor noted that Hollywood seems to be back to full speed. The veteran logged just two regular-season contests with Kansas City last year but has consistently produced when healthy. If cleared to face the Los Angeles Chargers in the season opener, Brown should play a key role in the offense with Rashee Rice suspended for the first six games. While Xavier Worthy is surging up fantasy draft boards, Brown is an excellent value as a late-round pick with immediate flex appeal.

After sitting out Sunday, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (groin) returned to practice on Monday. Palmer spent the first four seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Chargers before joining the Bills on a three-year contract in free agency this past winter. While Palmer caught fewer than 40 passes for under 600 yards in each of the previous two seasons, he could be in for a bigger role on a Buffalo team that lacks a star receiver. The team's most productive wideout from last season, Khalil Shakir (ankle), suffered a high-ankle sprain last Friday and is considered "week-to-week." It'll be all the more important for Palmer and others to step up if Shakir has to miss any regular-season action.
