Brown wasn’t a lock to make the roster, but he basically was the league’s top target for two weeks last November. He finished with 153 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers. A week later, he caught seven passes for a career-high 172 yards, including a 22-yard reception to set up a game-winning field goal. Without Brown, Houston doesn’t win the division and likely finishes below .500 under C.J. Stroud.
Brown’s shoulder injury opened the door for Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III to gain ground. I expect him to land on his feet elsewhere and start by Week 2 immediately for another team looking to build around their young quarterback. For two weeks every season, Brown looks like the most unstoppable force with a ball in his hands . — Cole Thompson, Texans Wire
