Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Parker Washington

Saturday, December 6, 4:41 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) was activated off injured reserve and will play in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Brown's 21-day practice window was opened last week, but he was ultimately held out for Week 13's game against the Denver Broncos. The 29-year-old wideout has missed 10 consecutive games due to groin and knee injuries. Washington's offense is now as close to full health as it's been all season, with No. 1 wide receiver Terry McLaurin returning last week and second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) returning on Sunday. Brown will be fourth in the pecking order for targets behind McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Zach Ertz in his return, and profiles only as a deep league option in Week 14 against the Vikings.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets. Washington was limited in practice during the first two sessions but was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Washington appears to be trending in the right direction to make his return this weekend after sitting out last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. If active, Washington will likely take a back seat as the WR3 for the Jags with Brian Thomas Jr. healthy now. Jakobi Meyers has been seeing more involvement with six targets or more in four straight games since being acquired from the Raiders at the trade deadline. Washington should be viewed as a low-end WR4/flex option for this weekend (if he plays) in a game in which the Jags probably won't have to throw the ball all that much. If he's out again, Tim Patrick will see WR3 duties for the second straight week.
