Chargers WR Vincent Brown is just plain spectacular. Yes, that’s right. Not flashy, just awesome.

He’s not quite 6-foot, not quite 200 pounds, not a guy who’d win a foot race against almost any cornerback. But he plays tall, plays big, plays fast.

Brown seemingly picking up where he left off last preseason before breaking his ankle is great news.

Fantasy Impact:

QB Philip Rivers still retains great rapport with WR Malcom Floyd and seemed to develop something with WR Danario Alexander last year, but if Brown continues to look as good as beat writer Kevin Acee says, Floyd could be the guy on the outside looking in. We currently have Brown ranked 59th among our WRs, and if he wins a job he will likely climb our charts a little. You should still be able to get him in the second half of drafts as a big-time sleeper candidate.

Forget the vertical-oriented attack of years past under which Chargers WR Malcom Floyd thrived.

The ball is expected to leave QB Philip Rivers' hand quicker in 2013. While some situations will still call for going deep, Floyd must do more if he is to see regular snaps.

"I’m running different routes," Floyd said. "These coaches are really working on my lateral ability, a lot of these drills this offseason, getting in and out of my breaks. It’s details like foot placement on curl routes, reprogramming my brain. ... I’m 10 years old in this league, but I feel a lot better than last year. I’m very excited about this upcoming year."

Fantasy Impact:

Floyd says he's developing into a more technical receiver. But, with Danario Alexander making strides last year, and Vincent Brown healthy and looking good in OTAs, Floyd may suddenly find himself battling for playing time. Floyd can be had very late in drafts this summer.

Vincent Brown rotating in with the starters

Vincent Brown's participation level has risen steadily during the Chargers' organized team activities. In the third week, it reached a new height.

The wide receiver mixed in with the starters Monday for the first time this offseason, rotating with Malcom Floyd opposite Danario Alexander. While too much can be made about a player's June practice reps, Brown is expected to see a pronounced role in his third season.

That role would have come in 2012 if not for an August broken ankle. The former third-round pick out of San Diego State missed the entire year with the preseason injury, but he is fully recovered now.

Coach Mike McCoy said he anticipates Brown will "without a doubt" be a big part of the team's offense.

"He's been great," McCoy said. "We laid out a plan for him early on, and he's one of those kids who want to go full speed, 100 miles per hour every play. So we were holding back a little bit when we first got on the field, and it's just a process we're going through to make sure we're doing the right thing with him. But he's on board 100 percent with us, and he's done a great job."

Fantasy Impact:

As the WR3 in 2011, Brown averaged 2.4-41-.25 in eight games, and posted a solid 1.12 fantasy points per target (FP/T). If he can beat out Malcom Floyd to be the Chargers' WR2, he will be a nice sleeper in the later rounds.

The Chargers are counting the minutes to get receiver Vincent Brown back on the field. They think he can be a star. Brown came on strong toward the end of his rookie season in 2011 and then was outstanding in training camp. However, he broke his ankle in the preseason and was lost for the entire 2012 season. The Chargers’ offense badly missed him. He is now healthy, and the Chargers are going to unleash Brown. He should be a major focal point of the offense. Brown and quarterback Philip Rivers were building a strong chemistry, and they will continue to work on it in training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown has to beat out Malcom Floyd to have serious fantasy value in 2013, but this is certainly a player to watch this summer.
