Scouting report

BAL WR John Brown - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

After scoring a touchdown in three of his first four games as a Raven, John Brown has cooled off since. He’s had only one touchdown since, and has been under 30 yards in three of his past four games. It’s hard to continue to trust him in an inconsistent offense with a historically frustrating quarterback after he continues to deliver subpar performances.

This week, look for Brown to bounce back against the Bengals. Only the Saints and Buccaneers have allowed more fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season, and Brown should have every opportunity to produce. He has some risk due to his lack of recent production and the potential for Joe Flacco to miss the game, but he has low-end WR2 potential in a great matchup.

BAL WR John Brown - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

John Brown caught only three passes for 28 yards last week against the Panthers after a big game against the Saints in Week 7. Brown got off to a strong start to the season, but he’s now struggled in three of his last four games. He’s still getting targets, however, – 6.75 per game – so his upside remains high.

This week, Brown will try to do some damage against a Steelers defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is a little risky because he’s been so volatile this season, but with the targets he’s getting and a nice matchup this week, he should be considered a fringe WR2 option and worth gambling on in most leagues.

BAL WR John Brown - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Carolina Panthers

After a couple of down games, John Brown was excellent against the Saints last week. He caught all seven passes thrown his way for 134 yards and a touchdown. Brown now has four touchdowns on the season and is on pace for a career-high 1,275 receiving yards. Brown is second on the team in targets, and his 19.9 yards per reception ranks third in the league.

This week, Brown faces a Panthers defense that has only allowed five touchdowns to the wide receiver position this season, but has allowed 999 yards and 81 receptions. Brown has some upside as a deep threat, as Carolina ranks 23rd in the league in yards allowed per pass attempt at 7.7. With his heavy workload and potential for big plays, Brown is a solid WR2 option in all leagues.

BAL WR John Brown - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New Orleans Saints

John Brown has struggled the past two weeks, putting up only six receptions and 86 yards in that span. However, he was targeted 14 times in Week 5, and last week against the Titans was more of a slug-it-out affair. Brown remains the primary deep option on the team and is averaging 20.2 yards per catch.

This week, Brown has high upside as a WR2 option in all fantasy leagues. He’ll face a Saints defense that has been a sieve, and not only has given up fantasy points, but also the second highest yards per pass attempt this season. That means teams can go deep on them, and Brown should find space downfield.

BAL WR John Brown - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Tennessee Titans

John Brown struggled along with the rest of the Ravens offense last week, catching only four balls for 58 yards in a disappointing loss to the Browns. Brown was targeted 14 times however, and he leads the team with three receiving touchdowns so far this year.

This week, Brown should continue to be the primary deep threat for the Ravens, giving him upside in any given week. We have him as WR2 based on his workload, though he has some risk associated with him, as the Titans defense is third in the league in points allowed per game.

BAL WR John Brown - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Cleveland Browns

John Brown is off to a red-hot start as a Raven. He has scored three touchdowns in four games, is averaging 22.5 yards per catch, and is second on the team in targets. Quarterback Joe Flacco is looking to Brown early and often, and the Ravens have used Brown as their primary deep threat.

This week, Brown should be in for another busy day against the Browns. He may be stymied a bit by the young, talented secondary the Browns have cobbled together over the past two years, but the Browns have allowed the ninth-most passing yards per game this year, so Brown should be able to find some room. He’s a high-end WR3 option in most leagues.

BAL WR John Brown - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Pittsburgh Steelers

John Brown caught five passes for 86 yards last week against the Broncos. Brown has been the Ravens’ primary deep threat, with receptions of more than 40 yards in two straight games. He’s second on the team in targets and seems to have found a home with the Ravens.

This week, Brown has borderline WR2 potential against the Steelers. Only the Saints, Chargers and Buccaneers have allowed more fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, and Brown should be able to get deep on them. The Steelers are allowing the fourth-most yards per reception to the wide receiver position. Brown is risky, but he’s also a high-upside starter in a great matchup.
