Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Chase Brown

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) was able to return to Sunday's AFC South clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars after being designated as questionable. The veteran caught one of his two targets before leaving the game with discomfort in his leg, but he returned later in the first half. Pittman quickly developed chemistry with starter Daniel Jones (Achilles), which led to eight top-25 finishes among PPR receivers in the first 13 games of the season, but he has taken a backseat in the weeks since Jones was lost for the year. From a fantasy perspective, he's difficult to rely upon with the Colts playing out the string.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 22 carries for 101 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 40 receiving yards. Brown capitalized on a solid matchup and an extremely favorable game script. In addition to remaining highly productive as a pass-catcher, he handled large volume on the ground and posted impressive touchdown efficiency. The 25-year-old ranks among the top 12 running backs in fantasy scoring this season, and he should continue to be started as an RB1 against the Cleveland Browns in Week 18.
