Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Dyami Brown

Tuesday, October 28, 4:56 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson caught only one of his eight targets for six yards in their 38-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Jefferson saw a season high in targets in the game and tied with rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, but struggled to consistently connect with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. The 29-year-old wideout was coming off his two best games of the season, filling for an injured Calvin Ridley (hamstring), catching four of six targets for 75 yards in Week 6 against the Cardinals, then catching all four targets for 41 yards in Week 7 against the Patriots. It's been a struggle for the entire Tennessee offense this season, but Jefferson figures to continue running close to a full number of routes while Ridley is out. He shouldn't be on fantasy radars for Week 9 against the Chargers.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (concussion) could be in line for more targets in a Week 10 game against the Houston Texans this Sunday, with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) nursing a high-ankle sprain. However, the 26-year-old is going to first need to clear the league's concussion protocol to get the green light to play this weekend. Brown suffered a concussion in Sunday's overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders and finished with three catches for 25 yards on seven targets. Meanwhile, Parker Washington led the team in receiving. Brown is worth a look off the waiver wire heading into Week 10 for fantasy managers desperate at the position, but keep in mind that Thomas could suit up against Houston, and Tuesday's acquisition of wideout Jakobi Meyers adds more competition for targets for Brown if he plays. Brown is rostered in only 3% of Yahoo leagues right now and has just 19 catches for 219 yards and one TD in seven games.
