Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Marquise Brown

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. It was announced earlier in the day that Diggs had torn his ACL in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Moving Diggs to IR gives the Texans the roster space to potentially add another wide receiver for depth. The Texans will still be without standout wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) until Week 10. This opens up a huge void of targets and opportunities for second-year wide receiver Tank Dell. Dell was excellent in 2023 when he was the only show in town. The Texans will need him to step up in a big way in the coming weeks while they wait for Collins to ramp back up. The Texans will likely also spread to ball around to wide receivers Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, and John Metchie III, along with tight end Dalton Schultz.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) has an appointment with his surgeon in Week 15 to get final clearance to play, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Assuming he is cleared, Brown will return to the field in either Week 16 or Week 17, making his long-awaited season debut and Chiefs debut. The 27-year-old would presumably slot as the Chiefs' No. 3 receiver behind Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins, but Brown's big-play ability and potential rapport with Patrick Mahomes could give him some low-end fantasy value over the last few weeks of the season. Last year in Arizona, Brown contributed 51 catches, 574 yards, and four touchdowns over 14 games.
