News

  • Signing with Texans

    Brown is in line to sign a one-year deal with the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The 6-foot-2, 225 pounder, who posted career highs with Dallas last season (43 catches for 555 yards and three touchdowns) adds size and experience to the Texans' wideout corps ahead of the coming season. However, the 27-year-old's fantasy upside hinges on what other moves the Texans make at the position, as well as how the team's quarterback situation plays out in advance of the regular season.

  • Posts career-best campaign

    Brown caught 43 of 73 targets for 555 yards and three touchdowns over 16 regular-season games in 2022.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old came into the season with little fanfare and little career production on his resume, but Brown took advantage of a threadbare depth chart behind CeeDee Lamb early in the season to establish himself as a legitimate NFL receiving threat, posting an 18-274-1 line on 27 targets over the first four games of 2022 despite mostly working with backup QB Cooper Rush. Brown's numbers declined from that point once Michael Gallup rejoined the lineup, but he still flashed some upside later in…read more

  • Just one grab against Washington

    Brown caught one of six targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: He and Michael Gallup posted identical awful lines as Dak Prescott completed just 37.8 percent of his passes in the regular-season finale, leading to a season-worst performance by the Dallas offense as a whole. Brown caught only one pass in each of the last three games, ceding looks to T.Y. Hilton, and that's not likely to change in Monday's wild-card clash with the Buccaneers.

  • Role dwindles Saturday

    Brown caught one of two targets for five yards in Saturday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: One week after Brown tied his career high with six catches in a two-touchdown performance, he was basically an afterthought in the Dallas offense and watched T.Y. Hilton haul in a huge 52-yard grab in his Cowboys debut. His blocking skills still had him on the field for 55 offensive snaps (76.4 percent), third among Dallas wideouts and well ahead of Hilton's 11, but the additional competition for targets from Dak Prescott will make Brown even more difficult to rely upon from a fantasy…read more

  • Ready for Saturday

    Brown (foot) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game versus the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After being listed as limited on the Cowboys' first two practice reports of the week due to a foot injury, Brown managed to log every rep at Thursday's session, paving the way for him to make his 14th appearance of the season in 15 chances. He's hit a bit of a hot streak of late, gathering in 10 of 15 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns over the last two contests. Brown may find the going tough, though, Saturday against Philadelphia's No. 1 ranked pass defense (172.4 yards per game).

  • Remains limited Wednesday

    Brown (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: One day removed from being listed as limited on the Cowboys' first Week 16 injury report due to a foot issue, Brown maintained that activity level Wednesday. He'll have one more chance to get back to full participation Thursday, at which point the team may clarify his availability ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Eagles. Brown has put together two straight productive outings, amounting to 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Tending to foot issue

    Brown was listed as limited by a foot injury on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After a productive first four weeks of the season (18-274-1 line on 27 targets), Brown didn't surpass 50 receiving yards or score a touchdown in any of his next seven appearances. Over the last two games, though, he's found a groove with quarterback Dak Prescott, as he's hauled in 10 of 15 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns. With a health concern plaguing Brown to begin Week 15 prep, his status should be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his potential to play Saturday versus…read more

  • Two scores in loss

    Brown recorded six receptions on nine targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-34 loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Brown surprisingly led Dallas in targets, though he fell behind CeeDee Lamb in both receptions and yards. The highlights of his performance came on his pair of touchdown grabs, which were from one and 13 yards away. Brown appears to have surpassed Michael Gallup in priority for targets, as he has 15 looks combined across his last two games, resulting in 134 yards and two scores.

  • Strong showing against Houston

    Brown caught four of six targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Most of that production came on a 51-yard reception to convert a third-and-13 early in the second quarter, but Brown also was clutch on the Cowboys' final series as he made a diving 18-yard catch with just 78 seconds left to help set up Ezekiel Elliott's game-winning score. It was Brown's best performance since he posted a 5-91-1 line back in Week 2, and it appears as though the sixth-year wideout has earned Dak Prescott's trust. Even with James Washington now active, Brown should retain a…read more

  • Two catches against Colts

    Brown caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Both receptions came in the first quarter while the game was still in doubt before the Cowboys' running game and defense began to dominate. Brown hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 7, and with James Washington (foot, IR) back at practice and Odell Beckham (knee) coming in for a visit, his role isn't like to grow.

  • Two grabs against Minnesota

    Brown caught both his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: The Cowboys didn't need to attack downfield much with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard accounting for two touchdowns each out of the backfield, but Brown still made an impact with a 35-yard catch in the third quarter that set up Elliott's second score of the day. Brown hasn't seen a significant role in the offense since Michael Gallup returned from a knee injury, and his snaps and targets could all but disappear down the stretch if Odell Beckham does end up landing in Dallas.

  • Just one catch in OT loss

    Brown caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: After missing the Cowboys' last game before their Week 9 bye due to a foot injury, Brown saw his usual snap share in his return to action. His role as a receiver continues to dwindle, however. After catching exactly five passes in three straight games to begin the season while Michael Gallup was out, Brown has just 11 receptions on 21 targets for 129 yards in five contests since Week 4. Barring an injury to Gallup or CeeDee Lamb, Brown's target volume isn't likely to increase significantly Week…read more

  • Good to go for Week 10

    Brown (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Green Bay, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Brown cleared up any concern about his availability for the Week 10 contest by practicing fully Friday. After missing his first game of the season in the Cowboys' Week 8 win over the Bears, the 26-year-old shouldn't face any major restrictions as he returns to the lineup following a bye week. Expect him to settle back in as Dallas' No. 3 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

  • Logs limited session Thursday

    Brown (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Prior to sitting out Week 8 due to a foot injury, Brown didn't practice at all, so his ability to string together back-to-back capped sessions following the Cowboys' Week 9 bye is a positive sign for his upcoming availability. Friday's practice report could provide a clearer picture for his odds to suit up Sunday in Green Bay, and if he ends up active he'll continue to serve as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

    Brown (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown and running back Ezekiel Elliott (foot) both missed their first games of the season Week 8 before both returned to the Cowboys' first post-bye-week practice Wednesday as limited participants. While Elliott's status will be of more interest for fantasy purposes, Brown topped 50 yards five times in seven games before the foot injury, enjoying a breakout of sorts at age 26. Jalen Tolbert filled in as the No. 3 receiver back in Week 8 when Brown was inactive, but the rookie wasn't targeted…read more

  • Missing first game of season

    Brown (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown took a questionable tag into the weekend, despite not practicing in any fashion Wednesday through Friday. The Cowboys held out hope that the receiver might demonstrate enough progress in pregame warmups to suit up Sunday, but he'll ultimately miss his first game of the season. With Brown in street clothes, rookie Jalen Tolbert could get a look in the No. 3 receiver role behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

  • Questionable after missed practice

    Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Patrick Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown handled a full workload in last week's win over the Lions but then was held out of practice all this week. He thus appears truly questionable ahead of the Cowboys' 1:00 ET kickoff, with KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert on hand to fill in at wide receiver if Brown can't play.

  • Sits out again Thursday

    Brown (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Brown has opened Week 8 prep with no activity for two days in a row, raising the prospect that he may be unavailable to the Cowboys offense Sunday against the Bears. Ultimately, his status may receive some clarity on Friday's injury report, and if he begins to trend to sitting out this weekend, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup would serve as the main wide receivers for quarterback Dak Prescott.

  • Tending to foot issue

    Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown has been a regular in the Cowboys' passing game all season, logging between 77 and 91 percent of the offensive snaps weekly and producing five outings of 50-plus yards in seven contests. With no activity whatsoever to begin Week 8 prep, Brown's status will be one to watch Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability (or lack thereof) for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

  • Co-leads team in receptions

    Brown secured five of seven targets for 50 yards and lost a fumble in the Cowboys' 24-6 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brown tied Dalton Schultz for the team lead in receptions and checked in second in receiving yards to CeeDee Lamb, making it a solid bounce-back effort after posting a combined 2-15-0 line in the prior two games. As Sunday's showing indicates, Brown could be a beneficiary of more consistent production now that Dak Prescott is back under center, and he'll aim to build on his numbers in a Week 8 battle against the Bears.

  • Only one catch Sunday

    Brown caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old wideout very nearly had a spectacular touchdown catch in the back corner of the end zone just before halftime, but upon review it was ruled he didn't get a second foot or other body part down in bounds after securing the ball. Brown has seen his target volume dwindle the last couple games with Michael Gallup back in action, but the entire Cowboys passing game could get a boost Week 7 if Dak Prescott (thumb) is able to return to action.

  • One catch against Rams

    Brown caught one of two targets for five yards in a Week 5 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Michael Gallup was a little more involved in his second game back from a knee injury, hauling in four of five targets to top Brown's output, but the latter still was on the field for 76 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps (42 of 55) compared to Gallup's 55 percent (30 snaps). The entire Dallas passing game likely will need to be a lot more involved Week 6 against the Eagles -- Cooper Rush attempted only 16 passes against the Rams, with the defense, running game and special teams all…read more

  • Practices in full Wednesday

    Brown (neck) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown exited the Cowboys' Week 4 win against the Commanders in the fourth quarter due to a neck injury, but it didn't hold him back during the first session of Week 5 prep. Assuming he avoids a game-day designation ahead of Sunday's contest at the Rams, he'll be a part of a receiving corps headed by CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup. In Gallup's season debut this past Sunday, he logged 61 percent of the snaps on offense, while Brown managed 79 percent.

  • Should practice ahead of Week 5

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Brown should practice ahead of Week 5 after leaving Sunday's win over the Commanders due to a neck injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown caught three of six targets for 61 yards before leaving the contest with a neck issue, but McCarthy said he got a "good report" and expects Brown to be okay heading into the team's Week 5 matchup against the Rams. Michael Gallup (knee) made his season debut, but he didn't significantly impact Brown's production. Through four games, the fifth-year wideout has caught 18 of 27 targets for 274 yards and one touchdown. Despite McCarthy's comments, fantasy managers should monitor Brown's…read more

    Brown injured his neck during Sunday's 25-10 win against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: During the fourth quarter, Brown ran to the sideline, seemingly favoring his left arm, but he eventually was deemed questionable to return due to a neck issue. He was unable to retake the field, ending his day with three catches (on six targets) for 61 yards. Michael Gallup (knee) was back in the lineup Sunday and figures to earn more work as he gets his feet under him, which could hinder Brown's potential moving forward. First, though, Brown may have some practice limitations this week as the…read more

  • Commands seven targets

    Brown recorded five receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Brown finished second on the team in targets, behind only CeeDee Lamb. While he was moderately productive, Brown narrowly missed a touchdown for the second consecutive game after he was tackled at the one-yard line late in the third quarter. Despite producing admirably through three weeks, Brown's involvement in the Cowboys' offense could be in jeopardy with Michael Gallup (knee) nearing his return to the field.

  • Scores first career TD

    Brown caught all five of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: The depth receiver was Cooper Rush's most reliable option on the day, and Brown not only led Dallas in receiving yards, he caught his first career NFL touchdown in the first quarter on a nine-yard strike from Rush. Michael Gallup (knee) appears close to rejoining the lineup, however, and this performance may well end up being the high-water mark for Brown this season heading into a Week 3 clash with a Giants secondary that's yet to allow more than 66 receiving yards to a WR.

    Brown caught five of nine targets for 68 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The Cowboys offense managed only three points in a brutal performance, but Brown at least held his own as the team's No. 2 wide receiver and led Dallas in receiving yards while the Tampa Bay secondary worked to shut down CeeDee Lamb (2-29-0 on a team-high 11 targets). Making matters worse, Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury late in the contest that will require surgery and keep him sidelined for multiple weeks.

    Brown (toe) isn't listed on the Cowboys' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Brown is ready for the season opener after missing some time this summer with a minor toe injury, and he could have a significant role with Michael Gallup (knee) expected to miss at least one game. CeeDee Lamb is the only Dallas wide receiver who can be considered a lock for significant volume, with Brown, Jalen Tolbert, Dennis Houston, Simi Fehoko and KaVontae Turpin representing the other options at the position. Tolbert has generated the most fantasy interest and should get ample slot snaps,…read more

    Brown missed practice Thursday with a toe injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown sat out Dallas' second joint practice with the Chargers due to a toe injury, though it is not expected to be a long-term issue. Fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb (foot laceration) also missed practice, so the Cowboys are without some of their more experienced pass catchers as they prepare for Saturday's preseason contest against the Chargers.

  • Not active in preseason opener

    Brown (coach's decision) did not play in the Cowboys' 17-7 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike McCarthy opted to give rookie third-round pick Jalen Tolbert plenty of run and notably kept Brown on the sideline alongside No. 1 wideout CeeDee Lamb. The 26-year-old Brown is likely to open the season as the No. 3 wideout behind Lamb and Tolbert if Michael Gallup (knee) remains sidelined for Week 1 as expected.

    Brown will get an opportunity in training camp to prove the Cowboys don't need to bring in veteran help at wide receiver, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: James Washington's foot injury bumps Brown up to the No. 3 spot on the Dallas depth chart behind CeeDee Lamb and 2022 third-round pick Jalen Tolbert, and owner Jerry Jones made it clear Tuesday the team wasn't going to rush out and sign a veteran. The team could certainly change course after seeing how that depth looks in the preseason, but for now, Brown will get a chance to prove he can handle a regular role in the passing game after spending the first four seasons of his NFL career seeing as…read more

  • Headed for bigger role

    Brown figures to be the next man up at wide receiver after James Washington suffered a fractured foot Monday and will miss 6-to-10 weeks, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official website reports.

    Analysis: CeeDee Lamb is the clear top option at wideout, and 2022 third-round pick Jalen Tolbert already was expected to get as much of a workload as he could handle, so Brown is the player on the current roster most likely to see increased snaps and targets with Washington sidelined. The 26-year-old also is the only Dallas receiver other than Lamb who has caught a pass in the NFL in their careers. The Cowboys could sign a veteran free agent such as Will Fuller or Emmanuel Sanders before Week 1,…read more

    Analysis: Brown is officially active in practice once again after signing a one-year, $895,000 deal to return to the Cowboys in March. The fifth-year wideout brought in a career-high 16 of 25 targets for 184 yards over 13 games last year, but he should push for an increased role in Dallas' passing game after the departure of wideouts Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson this offseason.

    Analysis: Brown signed a one-year deal to return to Dallas at the beginning of March, and while the wideout has been sidelined during offseason work, he's expected to be full go by training camp. Brown finished the 2021 campaign with 16 catches on 25 targets for 184 yards over 13 games.

    Brown signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown, who was drafted by Dallas in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, will stick with the franchise for a fifth season. He finished the 2021 campaign with 16 catches on 25 targets for 184 yards over 13 games, though a significant amount of that production (six catches for 53 yards) came in a Thanksgiving loss to the Raiders when both CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper were sidelined. Brown is expected to once again operate as a depth wideout for the Cowboys in 2022, although if both Cooper and…read more

  • Modest numbers in 2021

    Brown caught 16 of 25 targets for 184 yards over 13 games this season.

    Analysis: The fourth-year wideout split his time between offense and special teams once again, and a significant chunk of his production (six catches for 53 yards) came in a Thanksgiving loss to the Raiders when both CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper were sidelined. Brown is a free agent this offseason, but he's useful enough as a depth piece to be brought back unless he wants an opportunity to compete for a starting role elsewhere.

  • Comes off IR

    Brown (groin) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Brown has a chance for his first game action since Week 13 against the Saints. Prior to hitting IR, the 25-year-old had been good for two or three targets most weeks.

  • Returning to practice

    The Cowboys plan to designate Brown (groin) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown missed the last three games with a groin injury, but he's slated to return to practice Wednesday. Whether he's available for Sunday's game against Arizona isn't clear, as the Cowboys will have a full 21-day window to evaluate the wideout for a return to the 53-man roster.

  • Shifts to injured reserve

    Brown (groin) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Washington due to the groin injury, but he'll also be sidelined for at least two additional games. The 25-year-old will be eligible to be activated Week 17 against the Cardinals.

  • Out Week 14 with groin injury

    Head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that Brown is dealing with a groin injury that will sideline the receiver for Sunday's game against Washington, and possibly additional contests to follow, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown appeared on the Cowboys' initial Week 14 injury report Wednesday after he didn't take any reps in practice, but the team hadn't previously disclosed that the receiver was banged up at any point during last week's win over the Saints. McCarthy shed more light on the situation Thursday, and after the coach described Brown's groin issue as a "couple-week injury," the Ohio State product looks like he'll face an uphill battle to make it back for the Cowboys' Week 15 game against the Giants,…read more

  • Two catches Thursday

    Brown caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: The Cowboys nearly had their full complement of wideouts available again, but with Cedrick Wilson (ankle) sidelined and Amari Cooper having a limited workload in his return from the COVID-19 list, there were still opportunities for Brown and other depth receivers to see some looks. Brown has set career highs this season with 16 catches on 25 targets for 184 yards, but he's still looking for his first NFL touchdown.

  • Can't haul in targets Sunday

    Brown failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Drops were an issue for Dallas wideouts in general Sunday, but Brown was the first to put the ball on the carpet on a catchable pass from Dak Prescott. The Cowboys' depth options at wide receiver were forced to see more action than usual with Amari Cooper sidelined due to COVID-19 and then CeeDee Lamb leaving the game early with a concussion, and that trend could continue into Week 12's Thanksgiving Day contest. Even if both Lamb and Cooper are out for Thursday's game against the Raiders,…read more

  • Two grabs against Pats

    Brown caught both of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The yardage was a season high for Brown, who has posted a surprising 5-83-0 line on six targets over the last two games. With Michael Gallup (calf) potentially ready to come off IR after the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, however, Brown's modest role in the offense could be close to drying up.

  • Season-high three grabs Sunday

    Brown caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old came into Week 5 with only one catch on the year but found a bigger role Sunday as offensive coordinator Kellen Moore went deep into his playbook. Brown could have scored his first career NFL touchdown had Cedrick Wilson not underthrown him on a trick play early in the fourth quarter. Brown sees a steady snap share on offense due to his abilities as a blocker, but he's unlikely to get consistent targets, especially once Michael Gallup (calf) is back in action.

  • Absent Thursday

    Brown (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday at Tampa Bay, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown recently spent a spell on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus, so the missed time may have contributed to his absence. The Cowboys instead will have rookie fifth-round pick Simi Fehoko on hand as their fifth wide receiver.

  • Off COVID-19 list

    The Cowboys activated Brown (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: On Tuesday, coach Mike McCarthy told Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that of the Cowboys on the COVID list, guard Brandon Knight (undisclosed) had the best odds to suit up Thursday at Tampa Bay. However, Knight and Zack Martin (illness) remain on the list, while Brown now will have a chance to suit up in the season opener. Brown is buried on the wide receiver depth chart and doesn't have utility as a returner, meaning McCarthy may opt to include Brown on the inactive list…read more

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Brown has tested positive for COVID-19, which rules him out for Thursday's contest against the Buccaneers, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Brown caught 14 passes for 154 yards in 16 games last season, but he will miss at least the first week of the 2021 season. It's unknown if he was vaccinated or not, which significantly affects the amount of time he is forced to be away from the team. After the early Thursday game, Brown will have 10 days to clear protocols before the Cowboys' Week 2 contest against the Chargers.

    Brown (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown caught 14 passes for 154 yards in 16 games last season and will open 2021 on the COVID-19 list. He'll remain away from the team until he clears the health and safety protocols.

  • Re-signs with Dallas

    Brown (back) signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys on Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old primarily played on special teams for Dallas in 2020, but he still set career highs with 14 receptions for 154 yards. Brown figures to fill a similar role for the Cowboys in 2021.

  • Officially out

    Brown (back) will not return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown left Sunday's game due to the issue. The wide receiver plays a depth role, recording 14 receptions for 154 yards this season. Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup will continue as the primary receivers while the Cowboys remain in the hunt for an NFC East title.

  • One catch in Sunday's win

    Brown caught one of six targets for 13 yards and added four rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: With Amari Cooper being held in check by the Niners' secondary and Michael Gallup (hip) exiting the game late, Andy Dalton found himself looking for other options. The result was Brown's largest target volume of the season, but the extra looks didn't turn into much production. If Gallup is forced to miss more time, Brown could be elevated to the No. 3 receiver role Week 16 against the Eagles.

  • Held without catch against Bengals

    Brown was not targeted over eight offensive snaps during Sunday's 30-7 win against Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Brown had only garnered 39 combined offensive snaps over his preceding three appearances coming into Week 14, but he attracted a target on more than 15 percent of those plays. Last week, he pulled in three of four targets for 40 yards despite fielding just 11 snaps in a loss to Baltimore. Brown's output in Cincinnati was more reflective of his low snap count, and he'll remain a depth option for Dallas' receiving corps Week 15 against the injury-depleted 49ers secondary.

  • Three grabs in Baltimore

    Brown caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Tuesday's loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Tuesday's outing was Brown's best performance since Dak Prescott (ankle) got hurt, and the first time he hauled in multiple passes since Week 6. The Dallas receiving corps remains stacked -- even behind the team's big three of Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, Brown isn't the clear No. 4 option ahead of Cedrick Wilson -- but as long as the defense keeps digging big holes for the passing game to climb out of, Brown could have occasionally productive outings.

  • Catches both targets

    Brown caught both of targets for 15 yards in Monday's 38-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The depth wideout has done well in his limited opportunities, but he's still only seen 10 targets through six weeks. Cedrick Wilson appeared to injure his ribs in the third quarter, which could afford Brown a few more snaps if Wilson is unable to play next week. It'll still take a couple of injuries to the top of the Cowboys' depth chart for Brown to really become a fantasy factor.

  • Four grabs in loss

    Brown caught all four of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: While the numbers were fairly modest, Brown set new career highs in receptions, yards and targets on a day when eight different Cowboys caught multiple passes from Dak Prescott. Brown remains low on the depth chart, but Dallas' No. 5 wideout could continue to find his way onto the box score if the team's defense remains one of the worst units in the NFL, forcing Prescott into shootouts on a weekly basis.

  • Makes two catches Sunday

    Brown caught both his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Both grabs came in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys mounted their improbable comeback, and while Brown's second reception went into the books as a 20-yard gain, it would have been much longer had his run after the catch not been wiped out by a penalty on CeeDee Lamb. Brown missed all of last season while recovering from knee surgery, but he's healthy now and is pushing Cedrick Wilson for the No. 4 spot on the Dallas depth chart at WR.

  • Back in action

    Brown (knee) has been a full participant during training camp, Jess Haynie of InsidetheStar.com reports.

    Analysis: Brown spent much of the 2019 season on the PUP list while recovering from knee surgery, but the fact that he's healthy again should at least help his case for breaking camp with a spot on the Cowboys' 53-man roster. He'll likely be battling with Ventell Bryant for one spot at receiver. Since being selected by Dallas in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Brown has appeared in 21 games, catching nine passes for 87 yards.

  • Shut down for season

    Brown (knee) won't return from the PUP list this season after undergoing a second surgery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys hoped to activate Brown at some point this season, but he couldn't shake his lingering knee issue. The 23-year-old will go under the knife again to put him on track for the offseason program. Since being selected by Dallas in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Brown has suited up in 21 games, catching nine passes for 87 yards.
