Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Terry McLaurin

Friday, October 18, 6:06 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown enjoyed a nice bounce-back outing last weekend after sitting out in Week 5 and remains a low-end flex option in deeper formats. After missing Week 5 with a groin injury, Brown responded in a big way as he saw a team-high eight targets and brought in four of them for 58 yards. Brown has caught at least three passes in every game he has played this season and has solidified himself as the No.2 option opposite of Terry McLaurin. Brown remains a high-risk, high-reward option in DFS and a low-end flex option in deeper formats this weekend, but could enjoy a breakout game facing a weak Carolina secondary.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin led all Washington pass-catchers with 98 yards in their victory over the Carolina Panthers. He brought in all six of his targets, which tied for a team-high. Even though he was without his QB1 through most of the game, the 29-year-old has continued his impressive stretch as he has tallied at least 15.0 PPR points in every game since Week 3. During this span, McLaurin found the end zone four times and has been the clear lead option in the Washington air attack. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring Jayden Daniels' status (ribs) throughout the week, but McLaurin remains a safe, high-end WR2 facing the Chicago Bears next weekend.
