Should You Start or Sit Marquise Brown in Week 5?
Hollywood Brown scored 12.8 PPR points in the big win over the Ravens last week, but I’m not the least bit interested.
I understand why his name is gaining some momentum. The Chiefs looked like “THE CHIEFS” last week, and if they are in fact back to elite form, you want a piece of the puzzle.
But what does Brown do that is unique for this offense?
Xavier Worthy is a weapon across the field, but one who joins Tyquan Thornton as the field stretchers in town, while JuJu Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce check in with significantly lower aDOT’s than Brown, positioning them to earn the high-efficiency targets along with the running backs.
I’m not sure there’s anything but a TD-dependent role for him in this offense as it is, nevermind when Rashee Rice returns in two weeks and leads this team in opportunities.
Brown has seen 5-6 targets in three straight games, and that’s what I think we get on Monday night. That’s fine if you’re replacing a Rome Odunze type or want nothing to do with the Bengals (that’s harsher than I’m willing to be, but I’d understand) this week, but I don’t think this is a player that holds value in standard-sized leagues for much longer.
