Marquise Brown Week 6 Outlook - Chiefs at Bills

We knew his target and air yards shares were good, though the production didn't quite match the opportunity through four weeks. He's seen at least six targets in each game, so when you combine that with 16.9-yard average depth of target, his targets should be worth more than most. He saw a massive 10 targets in Week 5, which led to 6/77/1 against the Bengals. That was his best game since Week 12 of last year, so a step in the right direction, but Lamar Jackson hasn't been what would be described as "on point" with his passes this season. The Eagles defense is going to be considered one to attack after Chase Claypool just tagged them for four touchdowns, but it hasn't been that great of a matchup to this point. If you look at fantasy points allowed, they've allowed the seventh-most, but those numbers are skewed just a bit considering they've allowed 154 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns to receivers. The 7.58 yards per target they've allowed ranks as the fourth-lowest mark in the league. The 11.0 yards per reception they've allowed is the lowest mark in the league. I know it sounds crazy considering Claypool's monster game, but this team essentially had a slip-up with him. Where they've struggled most is the slot, which is where Claypool did most of his damage last week, and where Tyler Boyd did his damage three weeks ago. Brown goes into the slot just 24 percent of the time, so it's far from a great matchup against Darius Slay. They've allowed just one pass play of 40-plus yards to this point, so getting that one big play isn't a great bet. Brown should be considered a relatively weak WR3 for this game who comes with a lower floor than most in that range.
