Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Troy Franklin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown returned from his 10-game absence in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, hauling in one of his two targets for 19 yards. The 29-year-old wideout posted his highest snap share in the three games he's suited up for this season, leading all Commanders wide receivers at 63.3%. Brown doesn't carry much upside as the No. 3 receiver behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr., (illness) but he should run a decent number of routes every week now that he is healthy. He has a favorable matchup on Sunday against the New York Giants, who have allowed the fourth-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. However, Brown is tough to trust as anything more than a deep league flex option for Week 15.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has been trending in the wrong direction since the bye week and will host a relentless Green Bay Packers defense in Week 15. Coming off his two consecutive lowest snap shares of the season at 53% in Week 13 and 26% in Week 14, it seems the Broncos have revamped the offense to feature other players in the past two weeks. After leading the team in targets on the season until Week 14, it's certainly a cause for concern with fantasy managers. However, Franklin will see an increased target share and snaps with Pat Bryant (hamstring) ruled out for Week 15. The Packers have the seventh-best pass defense, allowing 185.8 yards per game, and will likely give the Broncos' passing attack a run for their money in Week 15. Despite Bryant being out, Franklin is mainly an option in deep leagues and comes in as RotoBaller's WR41 overall in Week 15.
