Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Terry McLaurin

Friday, November 21, 3:37 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Brown had a serviceable performance in Week 11, catching four passes for 40 yards against the Denver Broncos. While he did not have a big game, Brown finished third on the team in receiving yards against a tough opponent. Fellow wide receiver Xavier Worthy got a full practice in on Friday but is officially listed as questionable, which could boost Brown's fantasy value. Brown could fill the field-stretching role while Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce compete for the short and intermediate targets against Indianapolis. The Colts defense is an advantageous matchup, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is currently ranked WR64 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex candidate, but that ranking would climb dramatically if Worthy is ruled out.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is back at practice on Monday, coming out of the team's bye week, according to head coach Dan Quinn. It's good news for McLaurin, but it doesn't guarantee that he'll be ready to return for the first time since Week 8 in Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. If the 30-year-old veteran can return this week, not only might he be on a limited snap count, but he'd be taking passes from backup quarterback Marcus Mariota in one of the worst matchups possible versus Denver's elite defense. McLaurin had his fifth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024, but he's battled injuries in 2025 and has only suited up for four games, catching 13 of 21 targets for 203 yards and one touchdown. Deebo Samuel Sr. will continue to operate as the team's WR1 if McLaurin isn't cleared by Sunday night.
