Brown caught nine of 14 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
After a pair of first-quarter field goals, Brown finally got Buffalo into the end zone early in the second quarter, streaking up the sideline and making his man miss after the catch for a 40-yard touchdown. He snagged a second touchdown off of a tipped pass in the fourth quarter. The performance featured Brown's third-highest yardage total of his career and only his second multi-score game. It also helped him to new season highs in targets, catches, yards and touchdowns, and he topped 100 yards for the first time since Week 1. Next up is a top-five Denver pass defense that was burned by Minnesota late in Week 11.

Brown caught five of 11 targets for 77 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Brown, who tied his season high of 11 targets, also led the team in catches and receiving yards. Although he has just one touchdown since Week 1, he's been quite consistent and now has at least 75 receiving yards in four of the last five games. Brown's weekly ceiling isn't the highest, but he continues to see plenty of opportunities and is quietly on pace for over 1,200 yards this season. He'll look to keep it up in next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Dolphins.

Brown corralled four of seven targets for 76 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 win against the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old wideout has proven to be a high-floor fantasy option through the midway point of 2019, having accounted for at least five receptions or 50 receiving yards in each of his eight appearances thus far this season. While he is a low-risk play, Brown's upside is also slightly limited, as he has just two touchdowns and one performance of 100-plus yards on the year. He isn't expected to explode in Week 10, with the Bills taking on a Browns defense that entered Sunday as a top-10 unit against the pass with 222.1 yards allowed per game through the air.

Brown caught five of eight targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Brown led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, but owners had to have been hoping for more against an Eagles defense that was the worst in the league at defending wide receivers coming in. The 29-year-old receiver should be commended for establishing a high floor despite having the inaccurate Josh Allen throwing him the ball, as Brown has managed to top 50 yards in every game this season. He shouldn't have a problem keeping that streak going against the Redskins in Week 9.

Brown sat out Wednesday's first practice of the week due to a rest day and not because of injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown battled a groin injury during last week's practice sessions before suiting up and posting a 6-83-1 line in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. He's likely to return to a full practice Thursday after getting some veteran rest, as the Bills have been apt to do in the first practice session of each week. If you want to impress your friends with a good trivia question, ask them to name the only two receivers with at least 50 receiving yards in every one of his team's games this season. Brown is one, while New Orleans' Michael Thomas is the other.

Brown secured five of six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown paced Bills pass catchers in receptions and receiving yards, and he salvaged his fantasy day with a key 20-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter that erased a 14-9 deficit. Brown had battled a groin issue early in the week, but he shed the injury tag by the final session of Week 7 prep and didn't appear encumbered whatsoever. Brown's score was his first since the opener, and his yardage tally was his highest since Week 1 as well. Brown will look to play a key role in the air attack again during a Week 8 interconference matchup versus the Eagles.

Brown (groin) practiced fully Friday following two limited sessions and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Brown, who leads the Bills in receiving yardage at 390 as well as yards per target at 10.0 (minimum 10 targets), looks to be mostly past the injury and ready to go for what looks to be a very fantasy-friendly matchup.

Brown (groin) practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Since the Bills have been taking it easy on a number of players during and coming out of the bye, we'd imagine Brown should be good for this week's game against the Dolphins, though a full practice Friday would provide more certainly to those planning on using the veteran in a juicy matchup. Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic previously speculated that since coach Sean McDermott didn't previously mention the possibility of Brown being limited, it's conceivable "something happened [to the wideout] mid-session" Wednesday.

Brown was limited at practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic speculates that since coach Sean McDermott didn't previously mention the possibility of Brown being limited, it's conceivable "something happened [to the wideout] mid-session" Wednesday. The Bills, who are coming off their bye week, face the Dolphins at home Sunday.

Brown caught all five of his targets for 75 total yards during Sunday's 14-7 win over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Brown had gone back-to-back games without reaching 70 total yards after 200 total yards in his first two games, but refound his groove Sunday despite playing against a stingy Titans defense. Heading into the bye, Brown is either tied or leads the team in catches, targets and yards. Following a bye, he'll have a chance to add to his 13.9 yards-per-catch average Week 7 against a Miami defense surrendering that same rate, third worst in the league.
