Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or David Montgomery

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown played the hero as he caught the game-winning TD catch as time expired. Brown caught just two of his five targets for a mere 21 yards before the game's final play. However, Brown salvaged his fantasy day by bringing in the 52-yard Hail Mary pass from Jayden Daniels to seal the victory. Despite the incredible finish, the 28-year-old remains an inconsistent WR4 going forward. Over the past three games, Brown has only caught eight total passes while being deployed as the No.2 wideout. For now, he should only be viewed as a low-end flex option in deep 14+ team formats.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (knee) is practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Dan Campbell. The 27-year-old is dealing with a knee contusion and briefly exited last week's win against the Minnesota Vikings before returning. His participation in practice is promising for his Week 8 availability against the Tennessee Titans, but fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the week. Montgomery had his worst fantasy outing of the season in Week 7, posting just 6.5 half-PPR points. He posted at least 14.5 half-PPR points in each of his first five games and should continue to be started in 12-plus team leagues. Although the Tennessee Titans have had one of the best defenses in the NFL up to this point, the Lions' offense is potent, and Montgomery has a great role as a primary goal-line rusher.
