Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or A.J. Brown

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) was listed on the first Week 3 injury report with an ankle injury, but he was able to put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Hill apparently picked up an ankle injury in the Week 2 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday night, and while his status deserves monitoring the rest of the week, it doesn't sound like an injury that's serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos in the team's home opener. The Cheetah already has 16 receptions for 24 yards for 255 yards and a league-high three touchdowns through two weeks in 2023, and he could see a hefty workload this Sunday if Jaylen Waddle doesn't clear the concussion protocol. The Broncos defense just allowed 35 points to the Washington Commanders.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 on Monday night. It has been a slow start for the Eagles' top target. Through two weeks, Brown has just 11 receptions for 108 scoreless yards. Meanwhile, teammate DeVonta Smith has 11 receptions for 178 yards and two touchdowns. This matchup against Tampa seems like the perfect situation to apply grease to the squeaky wheel in Week 3 for Brown and the Eagles. The Buccaneers have struggled to stop top pass catchers the past two weeks, allowing Justin Jefferson to gain 150 yards in Week 1 and DJ Moore to go for over 100 yards last week. After being visibly upset on the sideline last week about his lack of involvement, expect Brown to see a heavy target share in Week 3. Consider the 26-year-old a top 10 option.
