News: 6 days agoBrown (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Spin: Brown and Xavier Worthy (concussion) were among a handful players who left Tuesday's practice early, but McMullen indicated afterward that most (if not all) of their injuries don't appear to be long-term concerns. For now, Brown's status can continue to be viewed as day-to-day.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brown re-signed with the Chiefs after a lost 2024 in which he appeared in only five games (including the playoffs). It didn't take long for Brown to play a significant role (he had a season-high eight targets in his debut), but he didn't make much noise, maxing out at 46 yards and 9.5 fantasy points. Brown has now missed game action in five of his six NFL seasons, including three or more games in three straight years. He has yet to produce a top-20 fantasy campaign in six tries and his lone top-35 finish came in 2021. Kansas City's wide receiver room is suddenly a bit crowded on paper and Brown may find his way to an every-down role only if Rashee Rice is suspended (which may not happen until 2026). The 28-year-old Brown is best valued as a flex in deeper leagues.
