Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Marquise Brown

Friday, October 10, 11:26 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett was once considered a top wideout in the National Football League. Unfortunately, it appears those days are well behind him. In his first five games as a Titan, he's caught only seven passes (16 targets) for 52 yards. While the veteran had his first touchdown of the year in Week 5 against the Cardinals, it wasn't as a pass-catcher. Instead, it came after a wild sequence of events that included a Cam Ward interception followed by a Dadrion Taylor-Demerson fumble. With the Titans coming off a win, their first of the 2025 campaign, the team will look for another victory on Sunday versus the Raiders. Like Tennessee, Las Vegas hasn't looked good throughout the season. With that in mind, despite the favorable matchup on tap, Lockett hasn't played well enough to be classified as a starting option in any fantasy format.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown caught all four of his targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions. Brown has quietly emerged as a solid WR3/flex play this season, scoring at least 8.0 fantasy points (PPR) in all six of his games so far. Sunday's victory was his fifth game this season (of six total contests) in which Brown had at least four catches, as well as his fourth with at least 42 receiving yards. It's hard to predict which Kansas City receiver will get the bulk of the volume during any given week, but Brown has certainly been a steady fantasy contributor so far. He's a mid-range WR3/flex option for Week 7 against the Raiders.
