2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown may not have hit the financial jackpot in free agency but did strike gold in terms of opportunity to resurrect his reputation and fantasy value. The 2019 first-round pick is now partnered with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, following three straight seasons in Baltimore/Arizona playing large chunks of the year with backup quarterbacks. Brown seemed to break out in the first half of 2021, averaging 85.3 yards and 8.6 targets through eight games, before hitting a mid-season slump and then tailing off even further after QB Lamar Jackson suffered a season-ending ankle injury (Brown had fewer than 45 yards in each of his last five games). It was a similar story in 2022 after a trade to Arizona, where Brown averaged 80.8 yards and 10.7 targets over the first six weeks but then missed five games with an injury and returned to an offense that had lost QB Kyler Murray to an ACL tear. In 2023, Brown spent the first half of the year playing without Murray and the second half battling a heel injury, ultimately finishing with career lows in a slew of categories. If nothing else, the move to Kansas City should allow him to get back toward what he did his first two seasons in Baltimore (2019 and 2020) as a modest-volume target reliant on big plays and touchdowns. Anything beyond that probably depends on Rashee Rice's legal situation (and possible suspension) as well as first-round pick Xavier Worthy's development curve. If those two are both big factors, Brown may only be Option D in a KC offense that also has TE Travis Kelce. Read Past Outlooks

Progressing, but won't return soon
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Brown (shoulder) is "on schedule, or a little but ahead" in his recovery from September surgery, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
That said, Reid cautioned that it's "going to be a while" before Brown plays, though the receiver is a "relentless worker" who seems to be doing well up to this point in his recovery. Around the time he had surgery, multiple reports suggested Brown was unlikely to play in the regular season, with any shot to return dependent on the Chiefs making another playoff run. The team's wideout corps has changed considerably since Week 1, first losing Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury and then adding DeAndre Hopkins via trade.

2019
Traded from Baltimore to Arizona last offseason, Brown started fast for the Cardinals with 485 yards and three touchdowns on a whopping 64 targets through six games, but it was all downhill from there as he missed five games with a foot injury and then returned to an offense with DeAndre Hopkins competing for targets and Kyler Murray later sidelined by an ACL tear. Brown's final six games yielded only 224 yards and nary a touchdown, while Hopkins overcame his early suspension to ultimately lead the team in receiving yards. There's a lot to sort out heading into 2023, as Hopkins is gone but Murray is in danger of missing the early portion of the season recovering from his knee injury. An offense with Murray and no Hopkins could lead to a steady flow of targets for Brown, though the fleet-footed wideout is arguably better suited for a role with fewer total targets at a deeper average depth.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
At risk of missing season
Brown could be in danger of missing the rest of the season due to his sternoclavicular injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown will be undergoing surgery Monday in Colorado and has already been placed on injured reserve, meaning he'll miss at least the next four games. Head coach Andy Reid conceded Friday that Brown could miss "months," a drastic turn of events after the veteran receiver had been progressing well in his rehab. However, a recent evaluation found Browns' bone had moved, and further consultations confirmed the need for the surgery.
