2024 Fantasy Outlook
Browning was a solid contributor for Denver when he was on the field in 2023. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old linebacker only appeared in 10 contests due to a knee injury and concussion. Browning enters the 2024 campaign in the final year of his rookie deal, so he'll look to stay healthy and build upon his production thus far in his young career. In his 10 games last season, the Ohio State product proved to be an impact player, totaling 25 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles. Read Past Outlooks
Lands on IR with foot injury
The Broncos placed Browning on injured reserve Saturday due to a foot injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Browning injured his foot during the Broncos' Week 2 loss against the Steelers. He was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs after being unable to practice all week, and the 2021 third-round pick will now have to miss at least the next four games after being placed on Denver's injured reserve. The severity of his foot injury isn't clear, but the earliest Browning can return is Week 7 against the Saints on Oct. 17. Nik Bonitto will move into a starting role at linebacker alongside Alex Singleton, Cody Barton and Jonathon Cooper while Browning is sidelined.

Jerry Donabedian surveys the NFL injury landscape heading into the weekend, including two starting QBs that may come down to game-time decisions and a handful of star WRs cleared to play.
Week 2 was memorably brutal for injuries, but it wasn't all bad news for fantasy thanks to some young WRs getting elite usage and taking advantage. Jerry Donabedian has the scoop on everything Week 2.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
After recording 24 total tackles, five sacks, two passes defended and one interception across 14 games in 2022, Browning underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus earlier this offseason. The 24-year-old linebacker was placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, and it remains to be seen if he will be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign. When healthy, Browning will look to provide a boost to the Broncos' linebacker corps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting comparisons to future HOFer
Broncos safety Justin Simmons told reporters Saturday that Browning reminds him of Von Miller, noting that Browning "has that bend and he has that athleticism" to be one of the best pass rushers in the league, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Browning made his 2023 debut in Week 7 against the Packers after he spent the offseason recovering from surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus. He showed off his talent in Week 8 against the Chiefs when he recorded four tackles and two sacks, including a strip-sack of Patrick Mahomes late in the second quarter, which teammate Zach Allen said after the game was "an incredible play." Browning will get his next chance to get to the quarterback Monday against Josh Allen and the Bills, a game when Miller will face his former team.
