A.J. Brown: Start

Rookie wideout A.J. Brown enters Week 16 as one of the hottest receivers in the NFL. He’s averaging 22.5 fantasy points per game and has totaled 90 fantasy points since Week 12, the second-most of any player at his position in PPR.

Adding to that, this four-game stretch has seen the most consistent production out of the rookie all season long.

His Week 16 matchup against the Saints is a solid one, as New Orleans ranks No. 19 in receiving yards allowed per game, and their pass defense is No. 17 in the NFL. In all, the Saints are ceding the sixth-most fantasy points and are giving up over one touchdown per contest to the position.

Brown remains an explosive threat whenever the ball is in his hands and his chemistry with quarterback Ryan Tannehill is as strong as ever. In a game that could see the Titans chasing points, Brown is a must-start.
