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.
