2022 Fantasy Outlook
Brown hasn't yet put it all together for a huge fantasy season, but few wide receivers command
more respect from opponents. The 2019 second-round pick topped 1,000 yards as a rookie
despite initially playing limited snaps, quickly becoming one of the league's top YAC threats.
Maybe that shouldn't be a surprise, considering Brown turned in back-to-back 1,200-yard
seasons at Ole Miss as the No. 1 receiver ahead of DK Metcalf, and later ran a 4.49 40 at 226
pounds at the 2019 Combine. While not quite on Metcalf's level for measurables, Brown
combines the size and strength of a running back with the fluidity and hand-eye coordination of
a top receiver. Unfortunately, those gifts were only on display part-time last year, as Brown
missed four full games, nearly all of a fifth and also played at less than 100 percent health in a
few others. He finished south of 1,000 yards for the season, despite having three games with at
least 133 yards and a touchdown (plus a fourth in the playoffs). Now, Brown is on to greener
pastures ... or at least a greener uniform. Unable to work out an extension, the Titans traded
their star wideout to the Eagles, who promptly signed Brown to a four-year, $100 million
contract. He joins DeVonta Smith and TE Dallas Goedert in what might be another run-first
offense, though it's possible the Eagles open things up for QB Jalen Hurts now that they have
weapons. Read Past Outlooks

Manages four catches in rout
Brown caught four of eight targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-7 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles' passing game never had to ramp it up, as Brock Purdy (elbow) got hurt early for the Niners, and their offense struggled with journeyman Josh Johnson (concussion) under center. As a result, Brown had a second straight quiet playoff performance after reaching at least 70 yards in six straight games to close out the regular season. The hip issue that's slowed the fourth-year wideout in practice lately may have also been a factor, but Brown will have two weeks to heal up before the Super Bowl.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Despite missing Weeks 2 and 3 last year with knee injuries the Titans’ medical staff had initially deemed season-ending, Brown managed a second straight 1,000-yard campaign. And while he regressed from his other-worldly and unsustainable 12.4 YPT as a rookie, Brown still netted 10.1 yards per look (4th). At 6-0, 226, Brown is built more like a workhorse running back than an outside receiver. As such, he’s a load to bring down, and his 4.49 speed seems to understate his ability to take short passes to the house. Despite seeing only 12 red-zone targets (T-34th), Brown scored 11 touchdowns (5th) last year. He had surgery on both knees after the year, underscoring the severity of the injuries through which he played. Still only 24, presumably healthy in time for training camp and now in Year 3, Brown is poised for another big season — this time with Julio Jones replacing Corey Davis as his running mate in Tennessee. Jones should see more targets than Davis, at least on a per-game basis, but the 32-year-old also attracts more defensive attention, and his presence could inspire new OC Todd Downing to throw more passes than predecessor Arthur Smith. Regardless of what happens with the new guy, Brown should take the lead.
