Marquise Brown Upset With Usage
4 years agoBaltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown, who saw just two targets in the Week 8 loss to the division-rival Steelers, Tweeted his frustration about his role after the game. Head coach John Harbaugh said he texted Hollywood about the Tweet and the receiver took it down. One of Brown's two targets went for a three-yard touchdown. The second-year pass-catcher had five catches for 101 yards in Week 1, but in six games since then, he has just 22 receptions for 278 yards and two touchdowns. He has failed to hook up with quarterback Lamar Jackson deep down the field. Brown ranks ninth in the league with 709 air yards, per Next Gen Stats, despite seeing far fewer targets than the players above him on that list. His lack of routes run on intermediate routes has made him a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers.
