Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Kayshon Boutte

Saturday, December 13, 12:59 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown returned from his 10-game absence in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, hauling in one of his two targets for 19 yards. The 29-year-old wideout posted his highest snap share in the three games he's suited up for this season, leading all Commanders wide receivers at 63.3%. Brown doesn't carry much upside as the No. 3 receiver behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr., (illness) but he should run a decent number of routes every week now that he is healthy. He has a favorable matchup on Sunday against the New York Giants, who have allowed the fourth-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. However, Brown is tough to trust as anything more than a deep league flex option for Week 15.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte continues to handle a large volume of snaps, but it has resulted in inconsistent production thus far. He has six games with single-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues, and five games with double-digit points. His results have been somewhat unpredictable, but he faces an uphill battle to produce in Week 15 against a solid Buffalo Bills defense. The Bills have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to perimeter wide receivers in 2025, which limits Boutte's fantasy upside since he has played more than 90% of his snaps out wide. In his last outing against the Bills, he was held to a modest three catches for 43 yards. The 23-year-old is headed for a tough matchup this week and could quite possibly be outperformed by both Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry in the passing game. As a result, Boutte is the overall WR40 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, which means that he can be benched in most formats.
