Week 17 – Jaron Brown vs. San Francisco
Jaron Brown had one catch for six yards against Seattle last week and he wound up being targeted twice on the day. He seems to be a better option than Ted Ginn, but that still puts him fourth on the Cardinals depth chart, which doesn’t bode well for his fantasy potential. He should remain on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
Week 16 – Jaron Brown vs. Seattle
Jaron Brown didn’t catch a pass last week against the Rams. He’s had some good games occasionally this season, but there’s no reason to expect it this week. Against the top ranked pass defense, with a third string quarterback off the street behind center, I would stay away from Brown and the rest of the Cardinal pass catchers.
Week 15 – Jaron Brown vs. St. Louis
Jaron Brown had only two catches last week against the Chiefs, but he had 48 yards that included a 26 yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter that ended up being the game winner for a team desperately in need of a win to stay on top in the NFC West. Brown has been getting some more action as of late, but it’s unlikely that he’ll put up consistent enough totals being fourth on the depth chart to warrant adding to your fantasy roster.
Week 14 – Jaron Brown vs. Kansas City
Jaron Brown had the best day of any Cardinals offensive player last week against the Falcons, catching seven of nine passes thrown his way for 75 yards. While he may get added looks should Larry Fitzgerald miss another game, it’s too risky to assume that’ll be the case. Fitzgerald should be back, Jaron Brown is still the WR3 at best even without him in the lineup, and the Cardinals face a top shelf Chiefs pass defense. Leave him on waivers.
Week 13 – Jaron Brown vs. Atlanta
Jaron Brown stepped in as the WR3 last week with Larry Fitzgerald injured and he wound up with three catches on six targets. He did end up with only 24 yards on the day, but it was good to see him getting some action in relief duty. Against the Falcons this week, there’s some upside for all of the Cardinals pass catchers, as Atlanta ranks dead last in passing yards allowed per game. However, Brown’s spot on the depth chart makes him a risky start, and unless you’re in a very deep league, he should remain on waivers at this time.
Week 12 – Jaron Brown vs. Seattle
Jaron Brown had one catch for four yards against the Lions last week and he seems to have earned a few snaps a game over Ted Ginn in the Arizona passing game. There’s no reason to expect big things from him however, as the top three starters in Arizona are heavily entrenched in their positions and Brown will likely remain a backup option. He should remain on waivers.
Week 11 – Jaron Brown vs. Detroit
Jaron Brown had three catches and 35 yards last week against the Rams and he seems to have taken over the WR4 job from Ted Ginn at this time. Both players will continue to see limited snaps however, as the top three guys on the roster are pretty much entrenched at this time. Brown should remain on waivers, but keep an eye on him as his role expands.
Week 10 – Jaron Brown vs. St. Louis
Jaron Brown had only two catches for 15 yards last week against Dallas, but he did score a touchdown and seems to be challenging Ted Ginn on the depth chart. The bad news is that he’s still fourth in line at the wide receiver position, and that status is unlikely to change, making him way too risky of a fantasy option to add to your roster at this time.
Week 9 – Jaron Brown vs. Dallas
Jaron Brown made an appearance last week, catching one pass for seven yards against the Eagles. He may be pushing or passing Ted Ginn for WR4 duty in Arizona, but he has no chance of entering a top three spot on the depth chart and fantasy owners should leave Brown on waivers.
Week 2 – Jaron Brown vs. New York Giants
Jaron Brown had only one catch and six yards against the Chargers last week, and while Arizona runs an offense that often features five receivers, his spot as a battling fourth option in the passing game doesn’t really do much for his fantasy potential. Clearly outplayed by the rookie John Brown, Jaron Brown will be fighting with Ted Ginn for playing time and is not currently worthy of a fantasy roster spot.
