Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Joshua Palmer

Friday, November 28, 1:47 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) has been ruled out for the Week 13 game against the visiting Denver Broncos on Sunday night in Week 13, according to head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders opened Brown's 21-day practice window this week, but he will stay on Injured Reserve for another week. The 29-year-old's next chance to return will be for a Week 14 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. The good news for the Commanders is that they will be getting Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) back for the first time since he aggravated his quad injury in Week 8. When Brown does return, he'll be battling for targets behind McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. and won't be a must-roster player in 12-team fantasy football leagues. Brown has played in just two games in 2025 due to his injuries and has three receptions on seven targets for 36 scoreless yards.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable to play in the Week 13 contest on Sunday against the hosting Pittsburgh Steelers, according to The Buffalo News' Katherine Fitzgerald. Palmer missed Wednesday's practice but will close out the week with two limited sessions, leaving hope that he will be active this weekend. Curtis Samuel has already been ruled out for Buffalo, but even if Palmer is active on Sunday, which is likely, fantasy managers should have better flex options to choose from. The 26-year-old has yet to score a touchdown in 2025 in his first year in Buffalo, and he just has not seen enough volume to warrant a roster spot in most leagues. With Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch the last two games, Palmer has had just four catches on nine targets for 38 yards.
