Marquise “Hollywood” Brown Fantasy Update: Week 16 Impact & Projections
Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is expected to make his debut for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16 after two full practices. Although he has a strong track record, including six or more touchdowns in each of his seasons with the Ravens, his fantasy impact remains uncertain. Brown’s production has declined in recent years, and it’s likely his role will be more of a support piece rather than an immediate game-changer. His integration into the Chiefs’ offense will take time, and expectations should be tempered for now.
While Brown brings potential as a deep threat, his fantasy value in Week 16 is hard to gauge. Mahomes has struggled on deep passes this year, and Brown could provide a boost in that area, as well as in intermediate routes. However, with limited usage anticipated in his first game back, he might not be a must-start in fantasy championships. Though his roster percentage is low, Brown could be worth adding for depth if the Chiefs’ offense starts to click with his inclusion.

Hollywood Brown Set to Make Chiefs Debut After Injury Rehab
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Hollywood Brown is set to return after recovering from a sternoclavicular (SC) joint dislocation suffered during preseason. Originally expected to miss much of the season, Brown has made a strong recovery and was cleared to practice in Week 15. Although he didn’t play against the Cleveland Browns, reports suggest he could make his debut in Week 16 against the Houston Texans or Week 17 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
For fantasy gamers, Brown’s return could be a key late-season boost. While it’s unclear how quickly he’ll get integrated into the Chiefs’ offense, his speed and playmaking ability would add another big-play threat alongside Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs (13-1) have been good offensively but haven’t had the same explosiveness as in previous seasons, so Brown could be the spark they need. Keep an eye on updates, as his return could make a big difference for both the Chiefs’ playoff push and your fantasy team.

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation in the Chiefs’ first preseason game and is now headed to IR.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown suffered a significant shoulder injury on the first play of the Chiefs’ preseason. The dislocation was dangerously close to critical blood vessels, which forced an immediate hospital trip. After a few weeks of recovery, it was determined that his shoulder is not healing properly and that surgery will be needed. This turns his timetable from “weeks” to “months” according to Head Coach Andy Reid.
This setback significantly impacts the Chiefs’ high-powered offense, though Rashee Rice and rookie Xavier Worthy are poised to step up. Worthy, in particular, stands to benefit from increased targets, especially on deep passes. Fantasy football managers should cut bait with Brown and lean on Rice and Worthy if they want to be invested in this high-powered Chiefs offense.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has provided updates on the availability of multiple fantasy-relevant players heading into the season opener matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
The NFL season kicks in under one week, as the Baltimore Ravens are set to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, and Andy Reid has clarified the status of Samaje Perine, Juju Smith-Schuster, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Hollywood Brown. Both Perine and Smith-Schuster are recent additions with Perine being claimed off of waivers from the Denver Broncos and Smith-Schuster signing off the street earlier this week, but they are both acclimated and available to take snaps in needed on Thursday against the Ravens. Unfortunately for Hollywood Brown, the shoulder injury he suffered week one of the preseason will keep him out of week one of the regular season. Clyde Edwards-Helaire was placed on the NFI list and will miss at least the first four games to start the season.
Perine projects to compete for back up running back touches with Carson Steele, but the veteran has a lot of experience in both catching out of the backfield and pass protection. It’s entirely possible Perine carves out a role similar to what Jerick McKinnon used to bring the team ,but don’t count on that right out of the gate. As for Smith-Schuster, his familiarity with the offense is a plus as far as getting him up to speed goes, but still don’t expect his snap counts to be substantial unless the Chiefs receivers get decimated by injuries.
Brown suffered a dislocated sternoclavicular shoulder joint in the Chiefs week one preseason game and was originally slated to miss 4-6 weeks. The Chiefs opening game comes just shy of four weeks from the initial injury so his lack of availability at the moment should come as no surprise. Weeks two and three however become interesting and will be worth monitoring. Luckily for Brown and the Chiefs, they get 10 days to rest up for their week two game. Brown’s absence gives an immediate boost to Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice as both have chemistry already built with Patrick Mahomes and he can lean on both as Xavier Worthy grows and Holloywood Brown works his way back.
Marquise Brown Injury Update: Chiefs WR Out 4-6 Weeks – Fantasy Football Implications for 2024
An update on Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, who was recently acquired from the Arizona Cardinals, suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation and it is now being reported he will be sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks. With the season opener approaching fast, Brown is likely to miss at least the start of the season.
This injury opens up opportunities for other Chiefs receivers like rookie Xavier Worthy and second-year player Rashee Rice to shine. Worthy, with his impressive college performance and current lower draft position, could become a more valuable fantasy asset. Meanwhile, Rice’s ADP is expected to rise from his current WR37 spot as his role becomes more prominent. Brown’s current ADP of WR34 is likely to shift as well, so keep an eye on these changes and adjust your fantasy strategy accordingly.
Marquise “Hollywood” Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation in the Chiefs’ first game and will miss the rest of the preseason.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown suffered a significant shoulder injury on the first play of the Chiefs’ preseason. The dislocation was dangerously close to critical blood vessels, which forced an immediate hospital trip. Given the severity and the fact that Tyreek Hill missed four games with a similar injury, Brown’s availability for the regular season opener is in serious doubt.
This setback significantly impacts the Chiefs’ high-powered offense, though Rashee Rice and rookie Xavier Worthy are poised to step up. Worthy, in particular, stands to benefit from increased targets, especially on deep passes. Fantasy football managers should expect Brown’s ADP to plummet as his recovery timeline opens the door for Rice and Worthy to build chemistry with Patrick Mahomes.
