Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Trishton Jackson

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (kidney) was cleared two weeks ago to beginning working out this offseason after he missed the end of the 2024 campaign due to a kidney laceration that he suffered in early December in Week 12. Brown had a strong first season in Washington in 11 games (nine starts), catching 35 of his 56 targets for 453 yards, with his only touchdown coming on a dramatic and successful Hail Mary to help beat the Chicago Bears. "I feel like I'm built for this, and I'll come back stronger," Brown said. The 29-year-old was re-signed to a one-year deal to return to D.C. for the 2025 season, but it will be harder for him to make an impact in fantasy after Washington traded for Pro Bowl pass-catcher Deebo Samuel Sr. Brown should still have a role in the Commanders' offense, but as things currently stand, he's looking like more of a WR5/6 in deeper fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Trishton Jackson has been making a strong case to win a spot on the 53-man roster. The 25-year-old worked with the first-team offense during Thursday's joint practice. It appears he's back to full speed after suffering a knee injury earlier in training camp. He has mainly been getting increased reps due to the fact Jordan Addison (concussion) is sidelined right now. Jackson is making the most of his chances and could earn that final wideout spot. However, there's a good chance he ends up on the practice squad, so it's unlikely Jackson will provide fantasy value this season.
