Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown has played well in his first season with the team. The former Oklahoma Sooner has averaged 14.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, making him the WR9 on a points-per-game basis.
The former first-round pick has averaged 10.7 targets per game this season, seeing at least nine targets in all but one game. Brown had scored 17.8 or more fantasy points in three straight games before suffering a foot injury in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Unfortunately, the veteran has missed the past four games with the injury. However, he could return as early as this week.

Is Marquise Brown Healthy Or Injured?
When Brown initially suffered the injury, the team feared it was a season-ending injury. However, MRI results showed the star receiver could return in 4-6 weeks, and the Cardinals placed him on injured reserve.
However, the Cardinals designed Brown to return on Wednesday. While that doesn’t mean the star receiver will play this week, he is eligible to partake in practice.
Arizona has a 21-day window to active Brown to the 53-man roster. With the Cardinals playing Monday night, the veteran receiver could return in Week 11.
Who Can I Add Off The Waiver Wire And Start In Week 11?
Hopefully, Brown plays this week against the San Francisco 49ers. However, fantasy players should have a backup option on their roster.
One receiver fantasy players can add and start from the waiver wire is Darius Slayton. The New York receiver is available in over 80% of ESPN leagues. Last week he scored his first touchdown of the season.
The veteran receiver struggled to see the field earlier this season as the team opted to play David Sills V over the first few weeks. However, Slayton has turned into a solid fantasy receiver.
Over the past five games, the veteran receiver has averaged 5.2 targets per game, seeing at least six in three contests. Furthermore, Slayton averaged 10.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game during that span, scoring 9.1 or more in 80% of the games.
Meanwhile, he has a fantasy-friendly matchup this week. The Detroit Lions have given up 29.9 fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, the seventh-most in the NFL. Furthermore, they have given up two or more receiving touchdowns to wide receivers in a third of their games.
