Should You Start or Sit Marquise Brown in Week 6?
Personally, I think Xavier Worthy’s value will take a decent hit when Rashee Rice returns next week, but it’s Marquise Brown who is at risk of moving off of fantasy rosters when WR1 is back in the fold.
It was encouraging to see him earn eight targets on Monday night, his most in his “real” role this season (I’m not counting Week 1 where he was used in Worthy’s spot after just three snaps), but the playing time doesn’t lie: this is a player trending in the wrong direction.
-
Week 1: 93.1% snap share
-
Week 2: 75.4% snap share
-
Week 3: 67.2% snap share
-
Week 4: 52.9% snap share
-
Week 5: 52.4% snap share
I don’t want to be overly dramatic, but I think I’d deal him for the Packers D/ST right now. There simply doesn’t project to be a role for him beyond this week, and with Rice coming back from a suspension, not an injury, he could be phased out in short order.
Green Bay faces the Bengals this week, followed by the Cardinals, Steelers, and Panthers. They are also past their bye week, have the road game against the Lions in the rearview, and get the Bears twice in December.
