Brown suffered the hamstring injury sometime last week, although he played through it in Week 6, grabbing 10 catches for 196 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He missed practice on Friday and was listed as questionable on the injury report, while head coach Bruce Arians hinted that both of his hamstrings are sore.
Brown is enjoying a breakout in his second season, recording 33 catches for 497 yards and two touchdowns in six games.
Fantasy impact: Lingering hamstring injuries are always a concern, but it doesn’t sound like Brown will be limited in any way, particularly after last week’s performance. With Carson Palmer dealing and the Ravens defense giving up 286.2 yards per game, Brown has legitimate WR2 upside in what could be a lopsided matchup. Fantasy owners can safely start him this week.
