Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Romeo Doubs

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs' recent downturn over the last four games has coincided with Christian Watson's ascension in the Packers' offense as the top target. Doubs continues to run routes at a fairly solid clip, with over 72% routes per dropback in the last four games. Despite that, Doubs has just 10 receptions and 101 yards in his previous four games combined. In Week 14 against the Bears, Doubs posted his worst full-game performance of the season, with just two catchless targets. Doubs had some trust in the middle of the season when tight end Tucker Kraft went down with his season-ending injury, but since Watson's return, Doubs has been largely irrelevant for fantasy football. In a tough Week 15 matchup in Denver against the Broncos, Doubs is a desperation flex play at best.
