For a passing offense that is very much maligned, Marquise Brown has gotten off to a solid start to the 2021 season. Hollywood continues to perform at a high level. Dating back to last season, he's combined for 49 receptions, 716 yards, and eight touchdowns in his last 10 games (includes postseason). Even bothered by a lingering ankle injury, Brown has brought in six receptions in each of the first two games as well as a score in both. His 21.4 FPPG ranks 8th at the position and also sits inside the top 10 in yards after catch (78).
In Week 3 look for the strong play to continue as the Ravens travel to Detroit to play the Lions, a defense that is currently surrendering 23.3 FPPG to opposing receivers. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense should be able to move the ball at will, leaving plenty of opportunities for Brown to take advantage. He takes on a Lions defense that allowed big games to Deebo Samuel (9 REC, 189 YDS, 1 TD) and Davante Adams (8 REC, 121 YDS). They lost corner Jeffrey Okudah for the season and now rookie corner Ifeatu Melifonwu is out. Brown looks like a rock-solid WR2 in this smash spot, and you should start him with confidence.
