2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brown posted career highs across the board during his fifth season in Dallas in 2022, including a significant upgrade in snaps. After the Cowboys traded Amari Cooper to Cleveland and lost Cedrick Wilson to the Dolphins, the 2017 seventh-rounder was presented his biggest opportunity as a pro, en route to finishing with 43 catches for 555 yards and three touchdowns over 16 games. Despite what can be perceived as a career year, the Cowboys didn't put up much resistance in letting him walk. Brown's production dropped off over the final stretch and had just seven catches over the last three regular season games and two playoff contests. With Houston, Brown's experience could work in his favor in a mostly inexperienced wideout room. Read Past Outlooks

Staying with Houston
Brown (shoulder) is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Texans worth $5 million, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Over the course of 10 regular-season games with Houston in 2023, Brown recorded 33 catches on 55 targets for 567 yards and two TDs. The 28-year-old wideout was placed on IR twice last season, but assuming he has moved past his injury issues, Brown will have a chance to reclaim a complementary role in a C.J. Stroud-led offense that also includes Nico Collins, Tank Dell (fibula) and tight end Dalton Schultz.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ruled out Week 18
Brown has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Colts due to a back injury, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown's absence looms particularly large given the stakes of the game -- the winner punches a playoff ticket, while the loser could potentially miss the postseason altogether. The veteran wideout has proven to be a playmaking presence at times this season, posting a career-high 567 receiving yards and 17.2 yards per reception with the help of a career-best 14 catches of 20+ yards.

2017
Selected in the seventh round of the 2017 Draft, Brown has gone from a project to a dependable depth option in the Cowboys offense and a key special teams contributor. The Ohio State product had the best game of his career Week 12 of last season, catching six of nine targets for 53 yards, but most weeks he wasn't a factor as a receiver. Even with Amari Cooper gone and Michael Gallup recovering from a torn ACL, Brown may not see his role change significantly in 2022.
