Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Jayden Higgins

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) will not play in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. Brown has not played since Week 2, so this will mark his fourth straight game on the sidelines. The 29-year-old recorded three catches for 36 yards on seven targets across two games before getting injured. In addition to Brown, Washington will be without star wideout Terry McLaurin (quad), and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is battling a heel injury that could hold him out as well. Depending on Samuel Sr.'s status, Washington could be relying on Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Noel, and Chris Moore at wide receiver in Week 6 against Chicago.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins only had one catch in Week 4 against the Titans, but he made the most of it, hauling in a 26-yard touchdown strike from C.J. Stroud. He only played 31 snaps compared to Xavier Hutchinson's 48 snaps, but he was the more productive option, even though he only had one target. The No. 34 overall pick in the NFL Draft is still battling for playing time and not making a significant enough impact to be a fantasy option just yet. However, he does have the potential for big plays like he showed last week and could work his way into a larger role as the season progresses. For now, he's not a strong starting option, though, since he's only the No. 67 WR in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings.
