Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Tutu Atwell

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.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday that wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will be activated from Injured Reserve this week, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Atwell hasn't played since Week 7, but he figures to be active for this Sunday's showdown against the visiting Detroit Lions in Week 15. The 26-year-old caught only four of his nine targets for 164 yards and one touchdown in six games played before his hamstring injury. Atwell is certainly a deep threat in an explosive Rams offense -- he's averaging a career-best 41 yards per catch -- but it's hard to envision him doing enough to be worthy of a waiver-wire pickup in most fantasy leagues down the stretch. Receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams draw the vast majority of looks from quarterback Matthew Stafford in this offense.
