John Brown Week 2 Outlook -

Having a connection with Josh Allen surely helped in Week 1 as he led the team in targets with 10 of them. There were just five games in 2019 where he saw more than eight targets, so I don't believe it's something to get used to. Brown's typically at LWR, which means he'll see newly-acquired Byron Jones in coverage this week, a cornerback who has seemingly gotten better every year he's played. Over the last two years (and one game), he's allowed just 7.16 yards per target and six touchdowns on 137 targets in his coverage. One of the reasons they acquired him was likely due to what Brown did to this team last year, demolishing them for 5/83/1 in the first matchup and then again for 9/137/2 in the second one. So, make no mistake about it, this is a different matchup than it was last year. Not only that, but Brown now has to compete with Diggs in what should still be a run-first offense. Brown is not a must-start by any means and should be considered a middling WR4 this week.
