Marquise Brown Week 12 Outlook - Chiefs at Buccaneers

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Nov 25th 2020, 7:20pm EST

We know fantasy managers have been fed up with Brown's struggles, and it appears that maybe the Ravens are, too. He saw a season-low three targets in Week 11 that netted zero catches for zero yards. Only one of those targets was catchable, but he led it go right through his hands. You'd have to go all the way back to Week 5 to find the last time Brown finished with double-digit PPR points. He's the No. 50 wide receiver in PPR formats this year, right behind Russell Gage and Greg Ward. Not great, Bob. Of the fantasy production allowed to skill-position players against the Steelers, wide receivers account for 59.1 percent of it, which ranks as the second-highest percentage in the league, only to the Seahawks. The matchup isn't as bad as some make it out to be for wide receivers against the Steelers, as they are essentially right around the league average. The benefit to Brown is that they've allowed 14.08 yards per reception to receivers, which is the fourth-highest mark in the league. Brown tweeted after last week's game, "What's the point of having souljas when you never use them (Never!!)." He deleted it, but John Harbaugh addressed the concerns and said, "We want him to be a huge part of our offense. We've got to find ways to get that done." He's right, they do need him to stretch the field and at least be considered a threat. He's in the boom-or-bust WR4 conversation this week, and this could be the wake-up they needed to get the ball into his hands.
