Marquise Brown

Former Cardinals WR Marquise Brown has agreed to a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs worth up to $11M, according to multiple reports.

Fantasy Impact

Brown, who turns 27 years old this summer, has flashed his potential and big-play ability in the NFL but has also dealt with injuries the last two seasons. In 2023, playing for a rebuilding Cardinals team, he caught 51 of his 101 targets for 574 yards and four touchdowns. In Kansas City, he's penciled into a starting WR spot across from second-year WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce to catch passes from Patrick Mahomes in an offense designed by Andy Reid. It would be hard to find a better landing spot for Brown.

Cardinals' coach Jonathan Gannon said Marquise Brown will be placed on IR.

Fantasy Impact

This will end the season for Brown. He caught 51 passes for 574 yards and four touchdowns across 14 games this season. He had been playing through a heel injury as of late when he was on the field. His absence will open up some targets for Trey McBride and Greg Dortch this week.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (heel) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Brown is in line to likely miss his second straight game with a heel injury that has impacted his performance since Week 13. Fantasy managers should expect Michael Wilson and Rondale Moore to see a bump in targets if Brown does not suit up on Sunday.

Marquise Brown was sidelined at practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

With Brown sidelined this past week, Greg Dortch caught two passes for 45 yards and a touchdown. He would be in the WR3 conversation if Brown remains sidelined. James Conner and Trey McBride also see some more targets as a result.

Marquise Brown has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Brown was unable to practice all week after re-aggravating his heel injury last weekend. Trey McBride should see some more targets in his absence.
