Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Noah Brown

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) has been ruled out for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. It's no surprise to see Woods designated as inactive as he has yet to practice since injuring his foot during a punt return in the team's 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills. The 32-year-old was expected to compete for snaps in the absence of wideout Nico Collins (hamstring), but Houston will now roll into Sunday's outing down two pass-catching weapons. With them unavailable, the primary wideouts for quarterback C.J. Stroud are projected to be Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, and Xavier Hutchinson, with John Metchie III and Steven Sims mixing in.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown enjoyed a nice bounce-back outing last weekend after sitting out in Week 5 and remains a low-end flex option in deeper formats. After missing Week 5 with a groin injury, Brown responded in a big way as he saw a team-high eight targets and brought in four of them for 58 yards. Brown has caught at least three passes in every game he has played this season and has solidified himself as the No.2 option opposite of Terry McLaurin. Brown remains a high-risk, high-reward option in DFS and a low-end flex option in deeper formats this weekend, but could enjoy a breakout game facing a weak Carolina secondary.
