2022 Fantasy Outlook
Drafted seventh overall in 2020, Brown increased his production to 41 tackles and three sacks in 16 games last season. Although he hasn't produced to his draft pedigree yet, Brown will hope to continue improving as one of Carolina's starting defensive tackles in 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Career high in stops
DTCarolina Panthers
January 12, 2023
Brown made a career-high 67 tackles (30 solo) to go with one sack and seven passes defended while playing all 17 games across the 2022 season.
ANALYSIS
Brown also intercepted the first pass of his career, an added bonus to his most productive tackling campaign thus far. Since being drafted seventh overall in 2020, Brown has struggled getting to the passer consistently, but he at least elevated his performance elsewhere this season. Depending on whether the Panthers pick up his fifth-year option or not, 2023 could be Brown's final under contact in Carolina.

IDP Analysis: Week 8 Review
141 days ago
With the return of Josey Jewell, Jonas Griffith should garner more snaps than Alex Singleton going forward as the No. 2 linebacker.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Selected seventh overall in last year's draft, Brown finished his rookie season with 34 tackles, two sacks and four pass defenses in 16 games. The hulking defensive tackle grew more disruptive over the course of the campaign and now will aim to elevate his game further in 2021, when the offseason addition of pass rusher Haason Reddick could help distract opposing offenses from dealing with Brown up front.
Drafted seventh overall after being named SEC Defensive Player of the Year, Brown is expected to quickly emerge as a dominating presence up front. The 6-5, 325-pound defensive tackle finished with 54 tackles, including 11.5 for loss, and four sacks in 12 games during his senior season for Auburn last year. Along with his size and strength, he sports impressive quickness for an interior lineman, making for an all-around skill set the Panthers hope will propel their defense back toward the top of the league.
