Elic Ayomanor vs Marquise Brown: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Elic Ayomanor finished the 2025 season at 6.0 PPG over 16 games with the Tennessee Titans, while Marquise Brown clocked in at 7.1 across 16 appearances for the Philadelphia Eagles. A 1.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Elic Ayomanor turned 89 targets into 515 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Marquise Brown converted 74 looks into 587 yards and 5 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 5 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
