Noah Brown is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown had a dominant two-game stretch where he put up 325 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old is in for a more consistent role upon his return and should have value for fantasy managers.
Brown wasn't active in either of the last two weeks, but star rookie Tank Dell is going to end up on IR after breaking his leg this past weekend. That'll make Brown a starter in three-receiver sets full-time. He'll likely have a 70% snap share and route participation rate for the rest of the season. From Weeks 8-10, the last three games where Brown was active, he played 72% or more of the snaps in all three contests. He finished with 19 targets, 16 receptions, and 382 yards. He racked up 7.2, 24.3, and 20.7 half-PPR points in those three contests. He didn't do anything this past weekend, but he's still a must-add with his new role moving forward.
Brown is a must-add this week. Moving forward, the Texans will use Nico Collins, Brown, and veteran Robert Woods at receiver. Brown has been significantly more productive and efficient than Woods, so fantasy managers should expect Brown to operate as the team's No. 2 or No. 3 target most weeks. Brown will likely share that role with tight end Dalton Schultz; however, he missed Week 13 with a hamstring injury. Brown should be viewed as a WR4 moving forward with weekly WR3 value. The Texans are a pass-heavy offense with rookie sensation C.J. Stroud, who is playing lights out.
