Marquise Brown

Week 17 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown had five catches for 44 yards last week against the Bengals. Brown's numbers have been underwhelming the past six games, but he’s still averaging 10.2 targets over that span. Something’s gotta give with Brown and he seems poised for another big game at some point soon. He’s been held out of the end zone for seven games, after scoring six times in his first seven games this year.

This week, Brown faces a Rams defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. He may draw a tough assignment against Jalen Ramsey, but Brown’s targets still give him WR2 potential. We have him ranked inside our top-30 this week, so he’s a fringe WR2. Start him with tempered expectations.
