2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brown followed up a promising rookie showing with a strong sophomore season in 2024 acting as the 49ers' starting strong safety. The 25-year-old started 13 of 17 games for San Francisco while accruing 77 tackles and six pass defenses, including one interception. Brown nursed a minor ankle injury during the offseason program, but all reports indicate that he'll be ready to resume his starting role come Week 1. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.4 million contract with the 49ers in May of 2023.
Sits out of practice Monday
Brown (ankle) did not participate in practice Monday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
The safety appears to be dealing with the same issue that kept him out of minicamp in June, as he has now missed two sessions during training camp as well, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Brown has participated in most training camp practices, though, so the injury does not appear to be serious. The 2023 third-round pick stepped into a starting role last year, recording 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass breakups.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown finished his first season as a pro with 35 tackles and two interceptions across 15 games with the 49ers. The third-round pick was mainly used on special teams until injuries opened up a starting job at the free safety position. The versatile defensive back ran with the opportunity and finished San Francisco's lengthy playoff run as the starter. With veteran Tashaun Gipson out of the picture, Brown figures to continue starting for the 49ers in 2024.
