The Seattle Seahawks are restocking their receiving corps after the departure of tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receiver Paul Richardson. The Seahawks signed former Arizona Cardinals wideout Jaron Brown in the first week of free agency to help fill the void left behind. Brown joins former Carolina Panthers tight end Ed Dickson as the newest additions to the offense. The fifth-year receiver is expected to start alongside Tyler Lockett and Doug Baldwin when the 2018 season gets underway.

Brown is coming off a career-high year with the Cardinals in 2017. He caught 31 passes for 477 yards and four touchdowns in the desert last season. The undrafted free agent is two seasons removed from a torn ACL injury that sidelined him most of the 2016 season.
Fantasy impact: The Cardinals buried Brown on their roster the past few seasons. He has a chance to breakout now that he is higher on the depth chart. Brown is a big target and can work well on the outside opposite Lockett. Fantasy owners that are on the hunt for a sleeper receiver should keep their eye on Brown next season. He will have a lot more opportunities to expand his role in Seattle.
