RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): WR56

Fantasy Draft Analysis: Marquise "Hollywood" Brown was a popular sleeper last year. However, injuries cut his season short and left fantasy managers with a bitter taste in their mouths after taking a chance on the 28-year-old wideout.

Injuries have been increasingly more common for Brown, who hasn't played more than 14 games since the 2021 season. During that season, Brown would go on to haul in 91 receptions for 1,008 receiving yards.

There is some hope for optimism when looking at Brown's recent game log. Last season, including the playoffs, Brown was targeted on five or more occasions in four of the five contests in which he suited up. This indicates that Patrick Mahomes considers him an essential piece for this Chiefs offense, which also includes Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Rashee Rice.

With the return of Rice and the expected second-year leap many expect from Worthy, people forget that Brown had already become a trusted target of Mahomes. He earned 0.43 targets per route run during the regular season, which was better than Rice, Malik Nabers, and even Puka Nacua. Brown was Mahomes' first read 23.3% of the time.

Expect the Mahomes to Brown connection to be better in 2025, as the Chiefs will utilize Brown and his speed and route-running abilities in a variety of ways, especially when attacking the intermediate areas of the field where Brown has historically been successful in exploiting.
