Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or A.J. Brown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has seen heavy involvement in the passing game since making his return to the field two weeks ago. Since Week 15, Evans has hauled in 11 of his 21 targets for 163 yards with one touchdown. He figures to continue being a focal point on offense heading into the Week 17 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. This Dolphins' defense has been middle of the pack when it comes to defending wide receivers this season. Clearly, Evans is a favorite target for quarterback Baker Mayfield. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Evans as a WR2 for this game.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) does not carry an injury designation heading into the weekend. Brown's low-usage Week 15 looks more and more like a fluke, as he caught his stride once again with nine catches for 95 yards on 12 targets against the Commanders last week. His last six weeks have been his best stretch of the season, and fantasy managers that held out through his struggles must be rejoicing. However, as fantasy playoffs come to a close, Brown has the Bills to deal with. Buffalo allows the eighth-fewest fantasy points to WRs this season and has not let an opposing receiver record 100+ yards since Drake London in Week 6. But, with the momentum Brown has had it feels foolish to doubt him now. Temper expectations in terms of yardage, but he should still have high upside in PPR leagues. He's a mid-tier WR2 in Week 17.
