2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brown followed up a promising rookie showing with a strong sophomore season in 2024 acting as the 49ers' starting strong safety. The 25-year-old started 13 of 17 games for San Francisco while accruing 77 tackles and six pass defenses, including one interception. Brown nursed a minor ankle injury during the offseason program, but all reports indicate that he'll be ready to resume his starting role come Week 1. Read Past Outlooks
Makes preseason debut vs. Raiders
Brown (ankle) logged four tackles (three solo) during the 49ers' 22-19 preseason win over the Raiders on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
An ankle injury prevented Brown from playing in the Niners' preseason opener against the Broncos, but he was cleared to make his preseason debut Saturday and logged 33 snaps (30 on defense, three on special teams). The 2023 third-rounder saw an increased role in the 49ers' defense during his sophomore campaign, finishing with 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass defenses (one interception) across 17 regular-season games. Brown is slated to start at safety, but with Malik Mustapha (knee) still on the PUP list, it's unclear who will start alongside the former by Week 1.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown finished his first season as a pro with 35 tackles and two interceptions across 15 games with the 49ers. The third-round pick was mainly used on special teams until injuries opened up a starting job at the free safety position. The versatile defensive back ran with the opportunity and finished San Francisco's lengthy playoff run as the starter. With veteran Tashaun Gipson out of the picture, Brown figures to continue starting for the 49ers in 2024.
