The Kansas City Chiefs (4-3) will visit the Buffalo Bills (5-2) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Marquise Brown.
Is Brown Playing in Week 9?
Brown is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Brown in Week 9?
The idea of investing in this Kansas City passing game makes sense, but they appear to be locked into their staple scheme, and that doesn’t leave much food on the table for a fourth option (Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy being locked in).
On Monday night, Rice and Worthy cleared 55 snaps and 30 routes while Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster both fell short of 30 snaps and failed to surpass 20 routes.
Patrick Mahomes is playing at a high enough level to pay off a limited role, and any injury would open up a tremendous opportunity, so you need to keep Hollywood rostered, but I don’t think you can justify considering him for your flex spot until something ahead of him changes.
Not helping his case was the fact that his lone target last week was intercepted, but he caught just two passes the week prior in Rice’s season debut: this isn’t an offense interested in sustaining a third receiver.
