Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Noah Brown

Saturday, December 21, 4:33 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods had a season-best six targets on Saturday in a 27-19 loss at Kansas City, finishing the day with three catches for 19 yards. The increase in work was tied to an injury, as wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) left the game and did not return after being carted off. Houston is already without wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) for the season, and a serious injury to Dell would vault Woods into being the team's No. 2 receiver. In that case, the veteran would be a popular waiver wire add with most fantasy leagues playing their Super Bowl in Week 18, during which Houston takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Noah Brown (ribs) will miss several weeks and potentially the rest of the season after sustaining an internal injury in the Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Commanders had a bye in Week 14, but Brown's injury is serious enough that he won't be ready to go for the Week 15 contest this Sunday in New Orleans against the Saints. With Brown hurt, the Commanders claimed receiver K.J. Osborn off waivers from the New England Patriots earlier this week. Osborn will give Washington more depth at the position, but Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Luke McCaffrey will get be the ones that will battle for WR2 duties with Brown injured behind Terry McLaurin. Tight end Zach Ertz might actually benefit the most from a target perspective in fantasy.
