Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Tutu Atwell

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. The 26-year-old wideout has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during the Rams' Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The Rams opened Atwell's 21-day practice window last week, and while he's been a full participant for every practice, his return will wait at least another week. Teammates Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith, and Konata Mumpfield will continue to split reps behind the Rams' star wide receiver duo of Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Atwell's next chance to return to the field will be for a Week 15 showdown against the Detroit Lions in L.A.
