Marquise Brown Week 13 Outlook - Chiefs at Packers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 30th 2023, 1:05pm EST

Brown opened this week with a DNP (heel). Brown had a limited practice to open last week before back-to-back DNPs to close last week. Brown ended up playing last week. He played 87% of the snaps last week, drawing a 26.7% target share, a 48.2% air-yard share, and a 33.3% first read share with 2.15 YPRR. We'll see what the rest of the week looks like for his practice participation, but I'm currently projecting him to play in Week 13. Since Week 8, Pittsburgh has had the third-highest rate of single-high (66.7%). Brown has had a 27.4% target share, a 43.5% air-yard share, 1.97 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share against single-high. Brown's biggest worry is shadow coverage from Joey Porter Jr. Since Week 9, Porter Jr. has shadowed three times following Ja'Marr Chase, Amari Cooper, and DeAndre Hopkins on at least 76.5% of their routes. Only Chase managed more than 40 receiving yards in Porter Jr.'s (41.2% catch rate and 59.2 passer rating) primary coverage. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3
