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
Signed a four-year, $5.4 million contract with the 49ers in May of 2023.
Moves to strong safety in 2025
Brown had 76 tackles (44 solo), two interceptions and one forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts with the 49ers in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Brown's versatility was on full display in 2025 when he was asked to move over to strong safety in Week 6 after teammate Malik Mustafa returned from injury. The 25-year-old Brown wasn't affected by the shift when he finished the regular season with one less combined tackle and one more interception than he did in 2024. Brown will enter the final year of his rookie contract starting at one of San Francisco's safety positions while providing a solid floor for IDP fantasy managers.

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.
