Barion Brown News
Wednesday, September 9, 7:05 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Barion Brown could get into the starting lineup for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. Brown had a strong camp, and he's in the mix for the No. 3 receiver role (and a starting job) after the Saints placed rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on injured reserve. As it stands, Brown projects as the third receiver behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, although he's also likely behind Juwan Johnson in the pecking order. Nevertheless, the rookie out of LSU caught four passes for 53 yards during the preseason, and he proved that he deserves more opportunities than fellow rookie Bryce Lance. Whether or not Brown's No. 3 receiver role is enough to get him on the fantasy radar remains to be seen, but he is definitely trending up as the Saints look to distribute Tyson's temporarily vacated targets. He's an intriguing player to stash for the first few weeks in 14+ team leagues.

Cyrus Allen News
Saturday, October 17, 6:31 PM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Cyrus Allen has yet to catch a pass this season, but he is still an intriguing dart throw in deeper fantasy football leagues for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs have already ruled out Rashee Rice (hamstring) for Sunday's game, leaving Allen potentially in line to handle more volume. The 23-year-old is no stranger to making headlines in fantasy football, as he generated plenty of buzz in training camp for earning the trust of head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. It's unclear exactly how much production will come from that trust this week, but at the very least, we think Allen is a strong candidate to log his first career reception. Getting onto the fantasy radar will be a bit tougher, but if there's any week to make an impact in deeper fantasy leagues, it's the week with no Rice and a matchup against the struggling Los Angeles Chargers.
