Fantasy football: Where to draft Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed

Analyzing Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed is primed to explode onto the scene in his 2nd NFL season. The Michigan State product was taken by the Packers in the 2nd round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Below, we look at Jayden Reed’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Reed, who turned 24 in April, played in 16 games with 13 starts during his rookie year. He led the Packers in receptions, receiving yards and tied for a team-best 8 receiving TDs.

Entering 2024, Reed is expected to take a big step in his development and could blossom into a top-30 fantasy receiver in the league. His big-play threat makes him intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

Jayden Reed’s ADP: 85.32

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

Reed’s 85.32 ADP in redraft leagues puts him in the range of the 8th to 11th round depending on the size of the league. His ADP ranks 4th on the Packers. RB Josh Jacobs (33.61) is 1st, followed by QB Jordan Love (65.69) and WR Christian Watson’s (81.77).

Among all wide receivers, Reed’s ADP ranks 39th at the position, just behind teammate Watson, Kansas City’s Xavier Worthy (80.49) and Tennessee’s Calvin Ridley (77.35). Carolina’s Diontae Johnson (85.48) is 40th, followed by Chicago rookie Rome Odunze (88.33) and .Jacksonville’s Brian Thomas Jr. (96.32).

Where should you draft Reed?

Reed’s fantasy value should get a boost this year with the continued development of QB Love. The exodus of pass-catching RB Aaron Jones to the rival Vikings should open up some of the target share for Reed, too.

Reed saw 94 targets last season, starting just 13 games. He should see a jump in that and eclipse 100 targets. He had a solid 68.1% catch rate and was the 18th overall receiver, getting some help from the 8 TDs. Reed is the highest-drafted Packers receiver as his potential could make him Love’s No. 1 target by the end of the season.

There is some competition in Green Bay, but Love threw for 4,159 yards last season, completing 372 passes out of 579 attempts. That kind of volume is going to allow for multiple players to be starter-worthy fantasy options. Reed is one of them. He’s being drafted like a WR3, and that’s a good spot for him as he was a touchdown-dependent player last season.

Draft Reed over Watson given his potential in the offense. He should be taken in the 7th round and is more valuable in standard leagues. If he continues to progress, he should be good for 80-plus catches and just over 1,000 yards.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf

Analyzing Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf is coming off his 2nd-straight, 1,000-yard season, and his 3rd in 4 years. Metcalf has been a picture of consistency in his 5-year career, never dropping below 900 receiving yards and never averaging less than 11 yards per reception.

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

Entering 2024, Metcalf is expected to continue to be a very solid and very reliable WR, even with questionable QB play in Seattle.

DK Metcalf’s ADP: 37.90

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

Metcalf’s 37.90 ADP in redraft leagues puts him in the range of 4th to 5th round depending on the size of the league. His ADP ranks 2nd on the Seahawks; RB Kenneth Walker III (31.10) is 1st.

Among all wide receivers, Metcalf’s ADP puts him 19th at the position, behind Houston’s Stefon Diggs (37.61), Chicago’s D.J. Moore (35.65) and Diggs’ Texans teammate Nico Collins (33.85). Metcalf is just ahead of San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk (41.19), Giants rookie Malik Nabers (41.32) and Miami’s Jaylen Waddle (41.82).

Where should you draft Metcalf?

With the aging of WR Tyler Lockett, who turns 32 this September, Metcalf’s fantasy value should continue to increase from year to year.

Metcalf is a physical freak that can win any jump-ball situation and has the speed to blow past defenders with his size and strength to bounce off hits. He will continue to be valuable in all 3 levels of the passing game, especially in the mid-range and deep-ball settings.

The worries with drafting Metcalf are the fact that he shares the field with Lockett, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and RB Walker, who will all take touches away from him in one way or another. The other concern with drafting Metcalf is Seattle’s QB play, which has been questionable each of the last 2 seasons with QB Geno Smith.

Draft Metcalf as a WR2. He is a more reliable fantasy option than some wideouts ahead of him, like Atlanta’s Drake London (31.13 ADP), and he is a guy that can go out and dominate at any time.

However, the concerns with Metcalf are real and there are far too many good receivers that will get more touches than Metcalf to recommend taking him as a WR1.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr.

Analyzing Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr.’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. has immense potential after dominating the college ranks at Ohio State. Considered the best wide receiver coming out of college, Harrison Jr. was taken with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — the first 3 picks were quarterbacks. He was the 2023 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and is expected to have an instant impact at Arizona, especially with QB Kyler Murray healthy. Below, we look at Marvin Harrison Jr.’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Entering 2024, big things are expected of the son of Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison. Junior is expected to be the top option for what should be a revived Cardinals offense. Ideally, Harrison Jr. will be a top-10 fantasy receiver. The 6-foot-3 former Buckeyes superstar is intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

Marvin Harrison Jr.’s ADP: 17.07

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

Harrison Jr.’s 17.07 ADP puts him in the range of the 2nd to 3rd round depending on the size of the league. His ADP is the tops on the Cardinals. RB James Conner (51.99) is 2nd and TE Trey McBride (52.01) is 3rd.

Harrison Jr.s’ ADP ranks him 8th among all NFL wideouts. The top 7 are Miami’s Tyreek Hill (3.94), Dallas’ CeeDee Lamb (4.59), Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown (6.76), Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase (8.41), Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson (8.45), Philadelphia’s A.J. Brown (11.36) and the Jets’ Garrett Wilson’s (15.20) The Ram’s Puka Nacua (17.39) and Las Vegas’ Davante Adams (22.69) round out the top 10.

Where should you draft Harrison Jr.?

Harrison Jr.’s fantasy value is going to be heavily dependent on the success of Murray and the Cardinals offense. Last season, Arizona ranked 24th in points per game (19.4) and didn’t have a quarterback throw for more than 1,800 yards. Murray being healthy should help as he threw for 3,700 or more yards in his first 3 NFL seasons.

Harrison Jr. should be the recipient of many of those targets. In 2021-22, the last season Murray was healthy and played well, 4 Cardinals topped 500 yards with one — current Jacksonville Jaguar Christian Kirk — leading the way with 982. Harrison Jr. doesn’t have that much depth behind him and should see the bulk of the action. The Cardinals also don’t have a major receiving option out of the backfield with Conner at starting running back.

Harrison Jr. topped 1,200 yards and had 14 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons at Ohio State. That’s not an easy feat at the collegiate level, especially without a superstar quarterback last season. His success should continue at Arizona.

Draft Harrison Jr. in the late 1st round of keeper leagues and in the early-to-mid 2nd round in PPR leagues. He should be the first one off the board in dynasty leagues. In standard formats, feel free to let him drop into the middle of the 2nd round. He should see 120-plus targets as a rookie and could easily eclipse 1,200 receiving yards.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Chicago Bears WR Keenan Allen

Analyzing Chicago Bears WR Keenan Allen’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Bears traded for WR Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers in March. The 6-time Pro Bowler has played in 139 career regular-season games, catching 904 passes for 10,530 yards and 59 touchdowns. He was brought in by GM Ryan Poles to be a veteran target and mentor to rookie QB Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of USC. Below, we look at Keenan Allen’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Allen joins the Bears, where he’ll play alongside WRs DJ Moore and rookie Rome Odunze, the 9th overall pick. While Allen’s proven talent is undeniable, the crowded receiving corps and the uncertainty around Williams could limit his fantasy ceiling. With an ADP ranking as the 31st wide receiver, Allen is valued for his past performance, but his 2024 outlook is less clear due to these factors.

Keenan Allen’s ADP: 68.17

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

Allen’s 68.17 ADP in redraft leagues places him in the range of the 6th to 9th round depending on the size of the league. His ADP ranks 3rd on the Bears behind Moore (36.16) and RB D’Andre Swift (61.50).

As for Allen’s 31 ranking among all wide receivers, he is just behind Washington’s Terry McLaurin (66.22), Kansas City’s Rashee Rice (61.82) and Cincinnati’s Tee Higgins (60.83). Houston’s Tank Dell (71.78) is 32nd, followed by Tampa Bay’s Chris Godwin (72.59) and Buffalo rookie Keon Coleman (75.20)..

Where should you draft Allen?

Allen’s move to the Bears is definitely a mix of excitement and caution for fantasy players. Normally, I’d be wary of a veteran switching teams and facing heavy competition for targets, but Allen has some serious upside.

The 11-year veteran out of Call has been a machine from the slot the past couple of seasons with his efficiency up 26.5% compared to earlier years. Sure, he’s 32 and has missed a chunk of games recently, but his recent stats are too impressive to ignore. Even with the team switch, he still has a lot to offer.

Moore had a killer last season, but with rookie Williams replacing QB Justin Fields — who is now with the Steelers — things could look different. The switch in quarterbacks means we can’t just rely on last season’s numbers to predict how Moore will perform. Honestly, the current ADP might not fully capture the uncertainties of the Bears’ new setup.

Even though Allen’s in a new spot, his track record and the fresh start with Chicago make him a solid pick. With the rookie QB and a revamped offense, Allen could end up being the most dependable Bears receiver in 2024-25. He might just be the best value in Chicago’s receiving corps, especially if Williams has a rocky start.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore

Analyzing Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

In his first season with the Chicago Bears after being acquired in a trade from the Caroline Panthers, WR DJ Moore had career highs in receptions (96), receiving yards (1,364) and receiving TDs (8). The Bears rewarded him with a 4-year contract extension this offseason. Below, we look at DJ Moore’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

The Bears have a rookie quarterback in No. 1 overall draft pick Caleb Williams, plus they added 1st-round pick WR Rome Odunze and veteran WR Keenan Allen to the receiving corps. With increased competition for targets, Moore’s role could diminish, making it harder to predict his fantasy value. While Moore’s talent is undeniable, the surrounding changes may cap his upside this season.

DJ Moore’s ADP: 36.16

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

Moore’s 36.16 ADP in redraft leagues places him in the range of the 3rd to 4th round, depending on the size of the league. His ADP ranks 16th among wide receivers.

The Houston Texans’ Nico Collins (33.91) is just ahead of Moore at 15, while the Texans’ Stefon Diggs (37.26) is right behind him at 17, followed by the Seattle Seahawks’ DK Metcalf (37.91), New York Giants’ rookie Malik Nabers (40.83) and Miami Dolphins’ Jaylen Waddle (41.74).

Where should you draft Moore?

After years of underwhelming performances, Moore finally broke out in 2023, setting career highs with 96 receptions, 1,364 yards, and 8 TDs, averaging 16.9 fantasy points per game. Despite his overall success, Moore’s fantasy production was inconsistent, with several spike weeks—most notably a 49-point explosion against Washington—balanced by 5 games with single-digit points.

The Bears made significant changes for 2024, starting with Williams, who is expected to be a QB upgrade over Justin Fields. However, with the additions of Allen and Odunze, Moore’s target share is likely to drop from last season’s 28.9%. Despite the competition, a shift towards a more pass-heavy offense under Williams could help Moore maintain his volume.

Moore’s ADP (WR 16, No. 37 overall) reflects the risk associated with a rookie QB and increased target competition. However, if Williams lives up to his potential, Moore has room to outperform his ADP, making him a solid late 3rd, early 4th, round value pick in fantasy drafts. His talent and role in the offense make him a possible WR1 and he should be drafted as such.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.

Analyzing Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

QB Michael Penix Jr. was incredibly impressive during his final collegiate season and was taken as the 8th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons after he led the Washington Huskies to the CFP National Championship game. Below, we look at Michael Penix Jr.’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

While he isn’t expected to start immediately with veteran QB Kirk Cousins signed this offseason, he has big-time potential and should he be able to get in on the action. Ideally, Penix Jr. will be serviceable in leagues which QBs are at a premium. The rookie is intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

Michael Penix Jr.’s ADP: 114.64

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

Penix Jr. has an ADP of 114.64 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the range of the 8th to 10th round, depending on the size of the league. His ADP is lower than his teammate TE Kyle Pitts’ (66.59), though.

Among QB, Penix Jr.’s ADP puts him 19th at the position, behind Jared Goff (Detroit Lions, 97.67), Aaron Rodgers (New York Jets, 110.60), Drake Maye (New England Patriots, 112.80) and Spencer Rattler (New Orleans Saints, 114.62) and ahead of Bo Nix (Denver Broncos, 119.03) and Justin Herbert (LA Chargers, 120.96).

Where should you draft Penix Jr.?

Penix Jr.’s fantasy value, especially considering his ADP without being a Week 1 starter, is being inflated by keeper and dynasty leagues that are drafting for the 1st time.

Penix Jr. has far more value in those leagues as there’s a good chance he doesn’t start a single game as a rookie. If he is able to usurp Cousins, the Falcons have a bevy of elite playmakers like wide receiver Drake London and running back Bijan Robinson.

Penix Jr. had a standout season with Washington and has a cannon of a left arm that should bode well for his long-term prospectus. Cousins cripples Penix Jr.’s fantasy value, and neither are likely to be going anywhere.

Draft Penix Jr. in the 1st several rounds of a dynasty league and even consider a flier on him in keeper leagues as he has that immense upside potential. For this season, don’t expect much and in standard redraft leagues, feel free to let him go undrafted.

Fantasy football: Where to draft LA Rams QB Matthew Stafford

Analyzing LA Rams QB Matthew Stafford’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

LA Rams QB Matthew Stafford has been among the best gunslingers in the NFL throughout his career. He is coming off a near 4,000 passing yard season, a feat he has accomplished 9 times in his career.

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

Entering 2024, Stafford is expected to continue being a top QB in the NFC despite turning 36, and with the retirement of DT Aaron Donald, Stafford and the Rams offense will have to produce even more to compensate for the loss on defense.

Matthew Stafford’s ADP: 122.37

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

Stafford has an ADP of 122.37 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the range of the 12th to 14th round, depending on the size of the league.

Among quarterbacks, Stafford’s ADP puts him 23rd at the position, behind Justin Herbert (LA Chargers, 120.96) and rookie Bo Nix (Denver Broncos, 119.03). Stafford’s ADP has him just ahead of Kirk Cousins (Atlanta Falcons, 124.26) and Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 131.27).

Where should you draft Stafford?

We know Stafford can make any throw on the field and is among the most talented and experienced QBs in the NFL. Combined with elite WR weapons in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, it has me scratching my head as to why his ADP is so low.

The worries with drafting Stafford are primarily his age and health, but he is coming off a season where he played 15 games and played in the NFC Wild Card, so I’m not too worried there. I understand that Kupp is aging and is no longer his triple-crown self, but he is still a very reliable receiver.

Another worry with drafting Stafford is the fact that RBs Kyren Williams and rookie Blake Corum will get a lot of touches. But this is a Rams offense that will need to pass to win games.

Draft Stafford as a depth guy in your QB room. If you can get a high-value fantasy QB1 when QBs start flying off the board, then feel very comfortable and confident in drafting Stafford in a late round as a QB2 that you will likely start for at least a few weeks throughout the season.

Stafford is much better and more valuable than his ADP suggests.

Fantasy football: Where to draft San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy

Analyzing San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy has been way better than anyone has expected. After bursting onto the scene in the 2nd half of the 2022 season as a 7th-round pick and leading the team to NFC Championship Game, he was even better in 2023, leading them to the Super Bowl. He was an MVP candidate. Below, we look at Brock Purdy’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Entering 2024, the question is whether he can maintain his insanely high statistical production and whether he and the 49ers can finally get over the hump and win a title. With one of the best sets of weapons on offense in the NFL, he is an intriguing option for your fantasy team. He is expected to take another big step in his development and ideally will be a star, becoming a top-10 or top-5 QB in the league. The dual-threat signal-caller is intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

Brock Purdy’s ADP: 88.87

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

Purdy has an ADP of 88.87 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the range of the 8th to 11th round, depending om the size of the league. Among quarterbacks, he is 14th, behind Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins, 83.73) and ahead of Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars, 96.86). Overall among all offensive players, his 94th.

Where should you draft Purdy?

His ADP suggests a lack of belief in his ability to replicate his 2023 success. That said, it means you can get incredible value for him.

He still has RB Christian McCaffrey, WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, and tight end George Kittle. And assuming he comes back to play from his holdout, OL Trent Williams is arguably the best tackle in football.

So he has the potential to give you high-end quarterback play, especially as your QB2.

As there is fear he will regress, you can get him late on average, even though he has gone as high as the No. 2 overall pick in some drafts.

The 8th round seems crazy for a 30-plus TD passer with some rushing upside as well. But anywhere from the 6th round and later, he gives you great value.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith?

Analyzing Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith will enter his 3rd consecutive season as the starter with a new coaching staff and offensive system. After playing at an MVP level for the 1st half of the 2022 season, he has settled down to be a steady, solid starter. Although his 2023 stats were not super impressive, he was a Pro Bowl last season for the 2nd straight season. Below, we look at Geno Smith’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Entering 2024, he hopes to prove he is more than a bridge to a young franchise QB.

Geno Smith’s ADP: 135.86

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

Smith has an ADP of 135.86, which puts him around the 12th to 14th round, depending on the size of the league.

He is 28th among QB, just ahead of Sam Darnold (Minnesota Vikings, 137.22) and Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns, 138.25), Derek Carr (New Orleans Saints, 141.81) and Daniel Jones (New York Giants, 142.41).

He is 172nd among all offensive players.

Where should you draft Smith?

Smith should not be your QB1. Yes, he has some upside based on the new system, and he has a talented receiving corps that includes DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

He is a great caretaker for an offense, makes smart decisions and can lead a team to wins. However, that makes him a solid NFL starter.

That will not win fantasy leagues. He is mobile, but has only scored 1 rushing TD in each of the last 3 seasons. He does a good job of not turning the ball over, but there are so many other options out there with a higher ceiling for passing TDs.

He can be a steady QB2 for your fantasy team. Pick him up in the final rounds or wait to see if he lands on the waiver wire.

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

Analyzing Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[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.
