Marquise Brown
2025 Season Outlooks
Is Brown worth taking with a late-round pick? His 2024 season was capsized by an August shoulder injury that kept him out of action until Week 16. He's healthy, but if Fantasy managers were to buy into him again, they'd have to overlook his reputation as a receiver who might flash for a few weeks and then fizzle out. Last year he only fizzled, accumulating 9.5 PPR points or less in each of the five games he played despite averaging 5.6 targets per game. Brown is at best a late-round flier who might be best paired with Rashee Rice in case Rice isn't ready for the start of the season.
Brown re-signed with the Chiefs after a lost 2024 in which he appeared in only five games (including the playoffs). It didn't take long for Brown to play a significant role (he had a season-high eight targets in his debut), but he didn't make much noise, maxing out at 46 yards and 9.5 fantasy points. Brown has now missed game action in five of his six NFL seasons, including three or more games in three straight years. He has yet to produce a top-20 fantasy campaign in six tries and his lone top-35 finish came in 2021. Kansas City's wide receiver room is suddenly a bit crowded on paper and Brown may find his way to an every-down role only during Rashee Rice's six-game suspension. The 28-year-old Brown is best valued as bench option in deeper leagues, though he'll have WR3/flex appeal while Rice is out.
