Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Tre Tucker

Saturday, October 11, 12:38 PM

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) will not play in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. Brown has not played since Week 2, so this will mark his fourth straight game on the sidelines. The 29-year-old recorded three catches for 36 yards on seven targets across two games before getting injured. In addition to Brown, Washington will be without star wideout Terry McLaurin (quad), and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is battling a heel injury that could hold him out as well. Depending on Samuel Sr.'s status, Washington could be relying on Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Noel, and Chris Moore at wide receiver in Week 6 against Chicago.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker remains an intriguing name for fantasy managers, but continues to struggle with consistency heading into Week 6. The speedy wideout has shown flashes of big-play ability, yet his week-to-week production remains unpredictable, making him a tough player to trust in starting lineups. Tucker's boom-or-bust nature keeps him just outside of the flex range for most fantasy formats, though his increasing involvement in the Raiders' offense makes him a worthy stash candidate. As the team continues to search for reliable playmakers with Brock Bowers sidelined, Tucker's explosive potential gives him long-term appeal, but until he develops steadier usage and target volume, he's best viewed as a bench stash in all leagues rather than a dependable weekly starter.
