Who Should I Start? Odell Beckham Jr or Marquise Brown

Saturday, November 23, 9:53 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. should not be in fantasy lineups in Week 12 when he faces the New England Patriots at home. The LSU product has seen his snap totals rise over the previous three weeks, and his involvement in Miami's pass attack has correlated. Still, he's yet to clear 17 receiving yards or 4.5 fantasy points in any outing. Moreover, tight end Jonnu Smith has evolved into a reliable second option in the Dolphins offense behind speedster Tyreek Hill, and running back De'Von Achane remains heavily involved in the team's passing game. Despite an excellent matchup against a porous Patriots pass defense, Beckham Jr. will be tough to trust as little more than a lowly WR7. The former fantasy stalwart ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 in Week 12's rankings.

The Kansas City Chiefs are optimistic that wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) will rejoin his teammates in practices in mid-December, according to multiple sources. Brown suffered a dislocated collarbone on the opening snap of the preseason and needed surgery a month later to fix a dislocated SC joint, which pushed his possible return date back. He posted a video of him making one-handed catches off the Jugs machine at practice on Tuesday. It's good news for Brown and the injury-riddle Chiefs, but there's no guarantee that the 27-year-old will be able to return late in the regular season or even for a playoff run as KC seeks an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title. With Rashee Rice (knee) also out for the year, the Chiefs have had to trade for DeAndre Hopkins and reunite with JuJu Smith-Schuster for additional receiver depth.
