Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Terry McLaurin

Saturday, December 6, 5:23 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in last week's 28-31 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite his modest stat line, Brown found the endzone to salvage his fantasy day. The veteran receiver has found pay dirt five times this season, meaning that Patrick Mahomes can trust him when the field shrinks. Brown will likely have to find the endzone again to be viable against Houston in Week 14. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, meaning they are among the toughest matchups for the position. Brown is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex play in Week 14.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had an excellent performance in his return to action in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos after missing significant time due to a quadriceps injury. McLaurin recorded seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown while matching a career high with 14 targets. Star quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will return on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, and his dynamic skill set should provide a boost to McLaurin and the entire Washington offense. The 30-year-old wideout has been riddled by injury this season, playing in just five games while recording 20 receptions for 299 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets, with both touchdowns coming in his past two games. It's a tougher matchup on Sunday against a Vikings defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards per game, but McLaurin figures to be heavily involved again. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR22 in PPR leagues in Week 14.
