Who Should I Start? Pharaoh Brown or Brock Wright

Friday, March 14, 3:30 PM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Miami Dolphins have reached an agreement with former Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown on a one-year contract. The financial terms have not been disclosed. The 30-year-old will join his sixth NFL team since signing with the Las Vegas (Oakland) Raiders in 2016 as an undrafted free agent. Brown was the third-leading snap-getter for the Seahawks in 2024 (264), though it only amounted to eight receptions and 65 scoreless yards across 15 games. The Oregon product presents as a depth piece for Miami, as he'll likely compete for playing time with fellow tight end Julian Hill behind Jonnu Smith, who led the team in receptions a season ago.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright has just five catches for 37 yards on six targets so far this season, but two of his catches have resulted in touchdowns. The 27-year-old plays a consistent role in the Lions' offense, as he's played at least 40% of the team's offensive snaps in four out of five games this season. However, Wright's primary usage will likely be as a blocker as long as top Lions tight end Sam LaPorta remains healthy. In 63 career games played for Detroit, Wright has recorded 61 catches for 561 yards and 11 touchdowns. Wright and the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Wright should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 6.
