2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brown has signed a one-year contract with Kansas City for the second straight offseason, after shoulder surgery limited him to a pair of regular-season appearances and three playoff games last year. He didn't show much in those five contests, catching 14 of 28 targets for 141 yards, but he did play at least 65 percent of snaps in each playoff game, working as the No. 2 receiver opposite fellow speedster Xavier Worthy. While the two are similar in a sense, Worthy is both faster than Brown and better at gaining yards after the catch, which means Brown may end up running a lot of empty deep routes to clear out space for Worthy, Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce. There's never been much doubt about Brown's ability to create separation on deep and intermediate routes, but it's a skill that's often been outweighed by his lack of physicality, inability to avoid tacklers and struggles with durability. The 2019 first-round pick seemingly missed his breakout window and now enters his age-28 season after missing 23 games the past three years, with the best hope for fantasy value being injury/suspension troubles for Kansas City's other wide receivers.

RANKS
Tallies first touchdown of 2025
Brown recorded three receptions on five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Brown maintained a key role in the Kansas City offense even with the return of Xavier Worthy, as he was one of four pass catchers with at least five targets. He made an 18-yard grab early in the second quarter to set up a field goal, and he added a 15-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. Since an explosive Week 1 performance, Brown has not reached 50 receiving yards in a game, though he has consistently earned at least five targets.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Slot threat against NYG
Brown has drawn 21 targets through the first two games of the regular season, and he is facing off against a Giants defense that is prone to yielding catches in the slot, Seth Walder of ESPN relays.
ANALYSIS
Per Walder, Brown has lined up in the slot on 52 percent of snaps this season, while 40 percent of targets against the Giants' defense have been to the slot, which is second most in the NFL. Brown was already slated for a meaningful role in Kansas City's offense due to Rashee Rice's six-game suspension, but the former has seen that role expand further following Xavier Worthy's shoulder injury during the Chiefs' Week 1 loss to the Chargers. Brown and the Chiefs are facing a Giants team that is coming off a 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys in Week 2, when CeeDee Lamb led Dallas with nine catches on 11 targets for 112 yards.
