Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Brown was listed on the injury report with an Achilles injury, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation heading into the weekend. The 28-year-old didn't light the world on fire in Week 6, catching four passes for 45 yards, but he did manage to find the endzone twice in the matchup. It will be tougher sledding for Brown this week against the Raiders, but not due to the matchup. The Raiders have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, but Brown will have increased target competition with the return of Rashee Rice. Rice should immediately return to being the top target earner for Kansas City, leaving less volume for Brown. Brown is ranked WR46 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option in Week 7.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown caught all four of his targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions. Brown has quietly emerged as a solid WR3/flex play this season, scoring at least 8.0 fantasy points (PPR) in all six of his games so far. Sunday's victory was his fifth game this season (of six total contests) in which Brown had at least four catches, as well as his fourth with at least 42 receiving yards. It's hard to predict which Kansas City receiver will get the bulk of the volume during any given week, but Brown has certainly been a steady fantasy contributor so far. He's a mid-range WR3/flex option for Week 7 against the Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Brown has been a serviceable fantasy receiver this season, catching at least four passes or a touchdown in every game. In Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brown caught four of his eight targets for 48 yards. The 28-year-old has been a consistent possession receiver for Kansas City, but has lacked the explosive gains that the Chiefs turn to Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton for. Despite not having any blowup games since Week 1, Brown could see a bump in production on Sunday night against Detroit. The Lions are the highest-scoring team in the league, and Kansas City will likely have to pass early and often to stay competitive. Worthy will be the focal point of the offense, but Brown could be a useful chain-mover in Week 6. Brown is ranked WR48 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was on the injury report with an ankle injury, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation for Monday night. Brown will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. The 28-year-old had a solid game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, catching three passes for 38 yards and a touchdown. Brown took an expected step back with the return of Xavier Worthy, and this decreased usage should continue against the Jaguars. The Jacksonville defense is middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, and Kansas City is second in pass rate over expectation, so the passing volume should be there for Brown to be productive. Brown is ranked WR42 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was listed on the injury report with an ankle injury, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Brown was still the suspected WR1 heading into last week's game against the New York Giants after leading the team in targets through the first two weeks, but it didn't result in great fantasy production. The Chiefs speedster finished the game with a respectable four catches for 42 yards on six targets. Brown's target share should diminish this week with the return of Xavier Worthy. The positive news is that the Chiefs are facing the Ravens, who have been the highest scoring offense through the first three weeks. Baltimore has been middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers this season, but the Chiefs are second in the league in pass rate over expectation, so the points they score should come through the air. Patrick Mahomes tends to spread the ball around, with four receivers with at least four catches last week, but there should be plenty of opportunities for Brown to make his mark. Brown is ranked WR41 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a WR3/Flex option this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was on the injury report with an ankle injury but practiced fully all week and has been removed from the report ahead of Sunday's contest. Brown was expected to serve as the Chiefs WR1 with Xavier Worthy out against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. The speedster caught all five of his targets for 30 yards in Kansas City's loss last week. Brown's output was disappointing considering he earned 16 targets in Week 1 once Worthy exited the game. With Worthy officially questionable to play against the New York Giants on Sunday night, Brown could revert to his WR2 role in the offense. Despite having a less featured role, Brown could still have a good game against a Giants defense that was carved up by the Dallas Cowboys last week. Both See Ree Lamb and Jake Ferguson had nine catches and at least 78 yards against the Giants secondary in Week 2. This Week 3 matchup could be what the Chiefs need to finally wake up their offense and Brown should be heavily involved. Brown is ranked WR42 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.

Heading into Week 2, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was a popular waiver-wire target following his 16-target, 10-catch performance in Week 1. Even with top Chiefs wideouts Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) sidelined in Week 2, Brown was not nearly as prolific against the Philadelphia Eagles, finishing with five receptions for 30 yards. Early indications are that Worthy could return for Kansas City's Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants, which could limit Brown's target volume even further. Still, the 28-year-old looks like the Chiefs' clear WR2 until Rice is eligible to return in Week 7. Brown profiles as a WR4/low-end flex option in Week 3, although his outlook would improve if Worthy misses another game.
Sep 16, 2025 9:48 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown could be in line for a significant target volume going forward, given the current state of the team's wide receiver room. Top wideout Rashee Rice will miss the first six games of the season due to suspension, and WR2 Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is week-to-week after dislocating his shoulder in Kansas City's season opener. Without Worthy and Rice on the field, Brown was targeted sixteen times in Week 1, recording 10 catches for 99 yards. The 28-year-old Brown should be added in all leagues and could be a must-start wide receiver in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles if Worthy is unable to play.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was targeted 16 times during Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He accounted for 42 percent of the team's targets and finished the game with 10 catches for 99 yards. Brown saw an expanded role with Rashee Rice suspended and Xavier Worthy (shoulder) exiting in the first quarter, but even with those players absent, nobody expected Brown to have 16 targets and 10 receptions. These totals represented the second-highest marks of his career, as well as the highest since September 2022. He should be a WR3/FLEX next week and would sneak into FLEX territory if Worthy is forced to miss extended time.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday and has been officially removed from the team's injury report. Brown, who managed only two games in 2024 due to injury, will look to bounce back after posting just nine receptions for 91 yards a year ago. Now healthy, the Chiefs expect Brown to pair with rookie Xavier Worthy as their top outside threats in Patrick Mahomes' offense. While the seventh-year veteran has flashed upside in the past, he owns only one career 1,000-yard season and has struggled to stay consistent. Fantasy managers should view Brown as a late-round flier with speculative upside in deeper formats, especially if he can stay healthy and carve out a steady role as Kansas City's vertical weapon.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) has been a full participant in practice this week and has "looked good out there," according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. Rashee Rice is serving a suspension to start the season, and rookie Jalen Royals (knee) is not expected to play in the season opener this Friday in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers, so Hollywood should be KC's WR2 to open the year next to second-year pass-catcher Xavier Worthy. Brown injured his right ankle early in training camp and was held out of the entire preseason, but he's been practicing for a couple weeks now and should be ready to go in Week 1. The 28-year-old played in only two games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury that required surgery and didn't look great upon his return. At best, consider him a WR4/flex option in Week 1 with Rice suspended.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) "should be fine" despite missing all three preseason games, according to head coach Andy Reid. The Super Bowl-winning coach noted that he'd be a little more concerned if the injury pertained to a young receiver, but he's confident in Brown's ability to get back up to speed as a veteran. The injury bug limited Brown to just two regular-season games last year, but he made the most of his opportunities by catching nine passes for 91 yards. Kansas City will need reinforcements in the passing game after the NFL issued a six-game suspension to wide receiver Rashee Rice. Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce project to be Patrick Mahomes' top targets this season. Meanwhile, players like Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Jalen Royals should be able to carve out roles, too.
Sep 2, 2025 1:27 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot/ankle) recently returned to practice after recovering from a training camp injury. His Week 1 status is still uncertain, but Chiefs writer Nate Taylor noted that Hollywood seems to be back to full speed. The veteran logged just two regular-season contests with Kansas City last year but has consistently produced when healthy. If cleared to face the Los Angeles Chargers in the season opener, Brown should play a key role in the offense with Rashee Rice suspended for the first six games. While Xavier Worthy is surging up fantasy draft boards, Brown is an excellent value as a late-round pick with immediate flex appeal.
Aug 31, 2025 1:32 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot/ankle) returned to practice Sunday after missing Friday's preseason game against Seattle. The veteran is expected to start opposite rookie Xavier Worthy in the Chiefs' high-powered offense. Brown has struggled with durability in recent seasons, playing only two games last year and recording nine catches for 91 yards. If he can stay on the field, Brown should have plenty of opportunities with Patrick Mahomes distributing the ball. Fantasy managers can consider Brown a late-round flier with upside in deeper formats, though his injury history makes him a risky investment.
Aug 18, 2025 2:13 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot/ankle) will not play on Friday in the team's second preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. The former Baltimore Raven and Arizona Cardinal has been out of action for the last two weeks after suffering foot and ankle injuries. Unfortunately, injuries have become a common theme for Brown since he left Baltimore via trade. After missing eight games in two seasons with the Cardinals, he missed 15 games in his first season with Kansas City a year ago. "Hollywood" has tantalizing big-play upside and speed that could fit perfectly with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but his inability to stay on the field is becoming a significant concern. Fantasy managers considering drafting him in the later rounds should continue to monitor his status ahead of the thick of fantasy draft season.
Aug 13, 2025 3:28 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle, foot) is set to miss another training camp practice on Tuesday, according to Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride. Brown has not practiced with the team since July 29 due to an ankle/foot injury, although the 28-year-old is making progress and has resumed running. Head coach Andy Reid said that Hollywood's injury isn't expected to require surgery or anything like that, so they are staying optimistic that he'll be ready to play for the start of the 2025 regular season in early September. And with Rashee Rice most likely being suspended for anywhere from four to six games to begin the year, Brown should have an elevated role in the offense early on if he's available. We'd be surprised if Brown plays in the team's second preseason game this Friday against the Seattle Seahawks.
Aug 12, 2025 2:20 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is still recovering from his left ankld and foot injuries. "He's making great progress," Reid said of Brown. "He's running now." Brown isn't dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is making progress, but he has yet to return to training camp practice with the rest of the team, and it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared to play in the team's second preseason contest this Friday against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old's status for the start of the 2025 regular season bears watching even more closely with Rashee Rice potentially being suspended for four to six games to begin the year. Brown played in only two regular-season games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury, but he could be the WR2 next to Xavier Worthy in Week 1 if Rice is suspended.
Aug 11, 2025 1:31 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) remains sidelined at Thursday's training camp practice, according to Chiefs beat writer Matt McMullen. The Chiefs don't consider Brown's ankle injury as anything serious, but he'll almost certainly sit out of the preseason opener this Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals. It doesn't sound like Hollywood's ankle injury is something that would sideline him going into the regular season, but it's definitely concerning for a player that appeared in just two regular-season games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. Brown could have a decent role early in the 2025 campaign if Rashee Rice (groin) is handed down a suspension, but durability concerns have dropped him to a WR59 ranking in fantasy at RotoBaller. The former first-rounder has missed 23 games in the last three seasons due to injuries.
Aug 7, 2025 1:17 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is making progress in his recovery from an ankle injury at training camp and is not expected to need surgery, according to head coach Andy Reid. "Making progress, but it's in that ankle area, so we just want to make sure it is right," Reid said. "That's how we want to come out of this thing, and he (Hollywood Brown) is making progress. But we'll just see. It's not serious - when I say serious, I'm talking about surgery. It doesn't look like he's going to have surgery, but we got to let it heal up and go." It's been over a week since Hollywood practiced, which means he almost certainly won't play in the preseason opener this Saturday against Arizona. Shoulder surgery limited the 28-year-old to just two regular-season games in 2024, and with plenty of competition for targets in KC, Brown is shaping up as a low-upside WR5/6 in fantasy.
Aug 6, 2025 6:10 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) remains absent at training camp practice on Tuesday, according to Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride. While the Chiefs continue to say that Hollywood's ankle injury isn't serious, it's now been a week since he last practiced. It means that the 28-year-old will almost certainly be held out of the team's preseason opener this Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals. Brown still has plenty of time to get ready for the start of the 2025 regular-season opener in early September, but this is a reminder of the fact that he only played in two regular-season games in 2024 in his first year with the team due to injury. When all of the Chiefs' pass-catchers are healthy, Brown might be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' fourth target behind Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and tight end Travis Kelce.
