According to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool, Terry McLaurin isn't the best choice to start on many fantasy football squads. This will be McLaurin's first action since Sept. 21. Even before the injury, the receiver was underperforming and now he has to battle rust against the reigning AFC Champions.

He won't be shut out, as he is projected to earn about three catches for 36 yards with a 20% chance of a touchdown. However, if you have other options, you should strongly consider them. Should Hollywood Brown be one of them?

Hollywood Brown is the team's third-string receiver, but he is in line for a higher-than-usual third-string output. Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool has projected the receiver to haul in about four catches for 45.9 yards with a 20% chance of a touchdown.

It is shaping up to be a weaker output than in recent weeks for the receiver, but he is a worthy starter among third-string receivers. Is he worth starting over Terry McLaurin, however? Let's get to the bottom of it.

According to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool, there's a clear winner between Hollywood Brown and Terry McLaurin. This isn't always the case, but this time there's a right and a wrong choice between the two.

Brown gets the nod to start over McLaurin by almost three points. McLaurin will is coming into the game rusty and with a backup quarterback. Unlike last season, he also will have Deebo Samuel to compete for targets with. Multiple factors are holding McLaurin back this week, giving the Chiefs' third-string receiver the edge.
