Fantasy football: Where to draft Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown signed a 1-year deal worth $7 million with the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the offseason. Brown spent the last 2 seasons with Arizona after playing his first 3 seasons with Baltimore, the team that drafted him in the 1st round (25th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma.

Below, we look at Hollywood Brown’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

After having his worst statistical season since his rookie campaign last year, Brown is expected to get back to his 1,000-receiving-yard self now that he’ll be catching passes from QB Patrick Mahomes. Brown is expected to be a dynamic piece in the Kansas City offense that desperately needed receivers.

Hollywood Brown’s ADP: 117.16

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)

Brown’s 117.16 ADP in redraft leagues puts him in the range of the 10th (12-team league) to 15th round (8-team league). His ADP ranks 7th on the Chiefs. RB Isiah Pacheco (22.47) is 1st, followed by Mahomes (26.38), TE Travis Kelce (29.10), WR Rashee Rice (61.82), WR Xavier Worthy (79.65) TE Jared Wiley (113.64).

Among all wideout, Brown’s ADP puts him 51st at the position, just behind Buffalo’s Khalil Shakir (116.28), Las Vegas’ Jakobi Meyers (109.81) and Detroit’s Jameson Williams (107.43). Brown is just head of the Chargers’ Josh Palmer (119.46), Green Bay’s Romeo Doubs (121.21) and San Francisco rookie Ricky Pearsall (122.48).

Where should you draft Brown?

Brown’s fantasy value should get a hefty boost from playing alongside Mahomes, but the fact that he has to share targets with Rice, Worthy, Kelce and Pacheco hurts his value a bit.

Brown will still be a fantastic deep threat alongside Worthy as both have blazing speed, but Mahomes will more than likely still prefer Rice and Kelce in underneath routes.

There is no clear WR1 on the Chiefs yet, so Brown does have a pretty high ceiling fantasy wise, especially if he can take the top off of defenses because we all know how much Mahomes loves to throw the deep ball.

A big concern with Brown is that he suffered a chest injury in a preseason game that will have sideline him for the first few weeks of the season. So, be aware of that.

I’m not sold on Brown being a bad fantasy pick. In fact, I like him as a depth WR or FLEX option, especially in bigger leagues. Brown will have some single-digit fantasy games no doubt, but in this Chiefs offense, he is also bound to make some explosive plays that raise his fantasy value.
