Depending on the severity of Floyd’s injury, Brown’s role could carry over into several games. Floyd’s production saw a huge boost in over the last four games, catching at least one touchdown in each.
Brown is a third-year player that hasn’t seen more than 22 receptions in a season. He could be in store for the biggest opportunity of his young career if Floyd misses an extended period of time.
Fantasy impact: Brown is a sleeper option for anyone in need of a wide receiver with plenty of upside. If Floyd misses any time, Brown is an immediate WR4 solely based off of opportunity on a high-octane offense.
He’s worth a stash in case of emergency in deep re-draft leagues.
