2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown showed signs of breaking out in 2022 while with the Cowboys. In that season, he posted 555 yards and three touchdowns. In his first year with the Texans, Brown had a wild season. Due to injuries, the receiver played two games through Week 7. In Weeks 8-10, Brown was on fire, averaging 5.3 catches and 127 yards. Another injury cost Brown two games.Upon his return, he had three games with fewer than 10 yards and one with 82 yards and a touchdown. The overall picture tells us that Brown is very talented but not very reliable. After the Texans traded for Stefon Diggs, Brown will be competing for the No. 4 role. As a result, he would need others to miss time to be viewed as a fantasy factor. Read Past Outlooks

Gets green light for camp
Brown (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation and has been fully cleared for the start of training camp Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed the Texans' divisional-round playoff loss to the Ravens in January with a shoulder injury and eventually required offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum. The wideout has completed the recovery process and looks like he'll enter camp without any restrictions. Though staying healthy proved difficult for Brown, he was a productive secondary target in the Houston passing attack when available in 2023, finishing the regular season with 33 catches for 567 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets over 10 games.

2017
Brown posted career highs across the board during his fifth season in Dallas in 2022, including a significant upgrade in snaps. After the Cowboys traded Amari Cooper to Cleveland and lost Cedrick Wilson to the Dolphins, the 2017 seventh-rounder was presented his biggest opportunity as a pro, en route to finishing with 43 catches for 555 yards and three touchdowns over 16 games. Despite what can be perceived as a career year, the Cowboys didn't put up much resistance in letting him walk. Brown's production dropped off over the final stretch and had just seven catches over the last three regular season games and two playoff contests. With Houston, Brown's experience could work in his favor in a mostly inexperienced wideout room.

Ruled out Week 18
Brown has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Colts due to a back injury, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown's absence looms particularly large given the stakes of the game -- the winner punches a playoff ticket, while the loser could potentially miss the postseason altogether. The veteran wideout has proven to be a playmaking presence at times this season, posting a career-high 567 receiving yards and 17.2 yards per reception with the help of a career-best 14 catches of 20+ yards.
