Is Noah Brown Playing In Week 11?

Last week, Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown caught seven passes for 172 yards in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The week before, he had six catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Buccaneers. It's been a huge two-week run for Brown.

Unfortunately for the Texans, Noah Brown won't be on the field on Sunday when the Texans face the Arizona Cardinals. Brown has been ruled out because of a knee injury.

The good news is that Brown's injury isn't expected to be a long-term concern. He could return in Week 12 for the team's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Should I Start Robert Woods for Fantasy Football Week 11?

With Noah Brown out, Robert Woods is likely going to see extra playing time as the team's No. 3 receiver, but will that mean Woods has value as a fantasy option this week?

Woods had some good games earlier in the year, catching six of his 10 targets for 57 yards in Week 1 and then following that up with six catches for 74 yards in Week 2.

It's encouraging that Woods has had some good games this season, but he hasn't gone over 34 yards since Week 3. He might be worth playing as a cheap value option in DFS contests this week, but it's simply too risky to start him in season-long leagues when he's likely to be the fourth option in the passing game behind Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Dalton Schultz.
