2022 Fantasy Outlook
Brown was the East Coast version of Mike Williams last year, appearing to take a step forward
from "deep threat" to "legit No. 1 receiver" before crashing back to Earth in the second half of the season. The decline for Brown was drastic, exacerbated by QB Lamar Jackson missing five-plus games. Through the first nine weeks of the season, Brown scored six TDs and averaged 5.8 catches for 85.3 yards on 8.6 targets, with his 20 targets of 20-plus yards tying for the NFL lead (five catches, four TDs). The final nine weeks, he dropped to 5.6 catches for 40.8 yards on 9.6 targets, notably going 0-for-10 on deep looks. Brown never topped 55 yards without Jackson in the lineup, and opponents seemed to give him more cushion in the second half of the year, forcing the undersized wideout to catch quick passes and avoid tackles — never his strength.
Brown does have the speed to get open, especially downfield, plus a natural feel for tracking the
ball and getting in proper position, though he had some brutal drops last year (including three
potential TDs in one game). The Cardinals saw enough to send Baltimore a first-round pick for
Brown and a third-rounder, even without a new contract in place. While he might not be his new
team's No. 1 receiver, Brown will at least fill that role for six weeks when DeAndre Hopkins
opens the season suspended. It remains to be seen if a new offensive system will spark a
rebound from Brown's late-2021 collapse. Read Past Outlooks

Moves up depth chart
Brown has moved up the wide receiver depth chart in Arizona after the team released DeAndre Hopkins on Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Due to Hopkins' six-game suspension to start last season and injury concerns for both he and Brown thereafter, the pair only suited up for four games together. With Hopkins out of the picture, Brown will kick off his second season with the Cardinals as the team's top wideout, followed by the likes of Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Zach Pascal and rookie third-round pick Michael Wilson. Brown also may not be working with Kyler Murray once Week 1 arrives due to the quarterback's recovery from an ACL tear suffered Dec. 12. In eight contests without Hopkins in 2022, Brown put together a 50-553-3 line on 77 targets.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
Brown is fast. We don’t know how fast exactly because he had a broken foot at the 2019 NFL Combine, but he ran a 4.33 40 as a community college player before attending Oklahoma. The problem is he’s also small — 5-9 and listed at 180 pounds before 2020, though he played closer to 165 as a rookie. As such, it’s hard to envision Brown ever getting massive target volume, and last year, despite playing 16 games as the team’s top wideout, he saw only 100 targets. He did have four catches of 40-plus yards and scored eight touchdowns, but Mark Andrews is the primary red-zone target, and with the bigger (6-1, 211) Sammy Watkins also in the fold, we wouldn’t count on a repeat. Moreover, the Ravens used a first-round pick on wideout Rashod Bateman, spreading the distribution of targets in a low-volume passing offense even thinner. Quarterback Lamar Jackson also regressed from his MVP form last year, with star left guard Marshall Yanda retiring and left tackle Ronnie Stanley getting hurt. Stanley should be healthy for the start of the year, but whether defenses figured Jackson out is unclear. Consider Brown more of a DeSean Jackson type — capable of a huge play or game at any time, but not rugged enough for heavy use.
