He disappeared after his Week 9 performance of 119 yards and a score, but John Brown emerged again in Week 11. Brown caught five passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. Brown's touchdown was a 48-yard pass from quarterback Drew Stanton, who filled in for an injured Carson Palmer. Palmer suffered what could be an ACL tear. If an MRI confirms the injury, Palmer will miss the remainder of the 2014 season. It's worth noting that Brown was inconsistent with Staton at quarterback earlier in the season. He caught two touchdown passes against the New York Giants, but didn't do much in the other two games Stanton started.
Fantasy football waiver wire, Week 11: John Brown surfaces with a touchdown

Fantasy impact: There's plenty of upside for Brown, who is operating well in Bruce Arian's pass-happy scheme. However, the numbers are far from consistent. Larry Fitzgerald has been the only consistent option for fantasy purposes. Stanton's presence creates a more complicated situation. Brown is a desperation WR4 in light of Palmer's injury.
