Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Romeo Doubs

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (personal) will not play in Sunday's divisional matchup with the Chargers. Brown did not participate in Wednesday's practice, logged a limited participation on Thursday, and was not spotted during Friday's media access portion. He has now been ruled out for non-injury personal reasons. Since a Week 1 surprise outing that saw him targeted 14 times with Rashee Rice suspended and Xavier Worthy injured early, Brown has been largely irrelevant in most fantasy formats. Since Rice's return from suspension in Week 7, Brown has topped 40 receiving yards only once, while averaging 1.7 receptions per game. An unrestricted free agent after this season, he still holds some dynasty value, but he no longer needs to be rostered for redraft playoffs.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has seen a recent backslide in production, but he looks to get going again as the Packers travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 15. Doubs' recent downturn coincides with Christian Watson's ascension to Green Bay's top target in the offense. While Doubs continues to run routes at a fairly solid clip, with over 72% routes per dropback in the last four games, he has just 10 receptions and 101 yards in his last four games combined. In Week 14 against the Bears, Doubs turned in his worst full-game outing of the season, with just two targets and zero receptions. Doubs had some trust from fantasy managers in the middle of the season when tight end Tucker Kraft went down with his season-ending injury, but since Watson's return, Doubs has been largely irrelevant for fantasy football. In a tough Week 15 matchup in Denver against the Broncos, consider Doubs a desperation flex play at best for fantasy.
