News: 4 days agoBrown recorded three receptions on seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers.

Spin: The entire Commanders' offense suffered from a lack of efficiency in Sunday's loss, and that carried over into Brown's stat line as his longest catch went for just 14 yards while he also hauled in fewer than half of his targets for the first time on the campaign. While it was a down performance, he has seen at least six targets in four of Washington's last five games, which suggests he should have the chance to bounce back in Week 11 against the Eagles.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After averaging roughly 12 yards per catch in his first five seasons with the Cowboys, Brown's trip to Houston saw him erupt with 17.2 yards per reception, good for sixth among all players with at least 25 targets in 2023. Brought back for 2024 on a one-year pact thanks to such success working with C.J. Stroud, Brown figures to compete for vertical routes as a complementary option for this impressive collective of pass-catchers Houston has amassed. Unfortunately, he won't see enough volume to warrant starting lineup consideration in fantasy.
