Brown (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was a full participant at Friday's practice, so he was trending toward playing. He has averaged just 18.8 yards per game over the last eight games.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Brown practiced fully Friday, we'd expect him to be a go Sunday. While the Ravens have gone 5-1 since Lamar Jackson took over at QB, Brown's fantasy value has taken a corresponding hit, with 27 receiving yards representing his highest total in that span.

Brown (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With playoff implications on the line Week 17 against the Browns, Brown seems likely to get the green light to play in the contest if he can at least maintain limited participation Friday in the Ravens' final practice session. Even if Brown gains clearance for the weekend, he wouldn't make for an overly appealing fantasy options. In Lamar Jackson's six starts under center, Brown has topped out at two receptions and 27 receiving yards while scoring only once.

Brown was held out of Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has played in every game this season, but he does have a lengthy injury history that includes multiple incidents with his hamstrings. It's unclear if this is a matter of maintenance or legitimate cause for concern regarding his availability for Week 17 against Cleveland. Whatever the case, Brown has caught just seven passes in six games since Lamar Jackson took over as the starting quarterback. The early bid for a 1,000-yard campaign has gone up in smoke.

Brown brought in one of three targets for nine yards in the Ravens' 20-12 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown had has trouble developing chemistry with Lamar Jackson, although he did find his way into the end zone for the first time since Week 7 in last Sunday's overtime win over the Chiefs. However, Brown was right back to middling production versus the Bucs, and he's now failed to eclipse 30 yards in any of his last seven games. With Jackson having trouble generating much downfield, Brown's production could well remain capped for the final two games if the rookie remains under center. He'll hope for better production against the Chargers in a tough Week 16 Saturday night matchup.

Brown caught two of six targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Brown hit paydirt for the first time since Week 7, but he's still caught just four passes for 71 yards on 14 targets in four game with Lamar Jackson (ankle) starting at quarterback. A friendly Week 15 matchup with Tampa Bay probably won't make much of a difference unless Joe Flacco (hip) ends up starting.

Brown was held without a catch on four targets against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's downturn since the bye week bottomed out in Week 13 as he was held without a catch for the first time all season. Since Lamar Jackson took over at quarterback, Brown has a grand total of two catches for 48 yards on 12 targets. Baltimore has shifted to a ground-heavy approach overall under Jackson, so the overall target pie has shrunk. But even with that, Brown's role relative to other Baltimore pass-catchers is diminishing him in a way that's making him a non-factor in fantasy.

Brown hooked up with Lamar Jackson on just one of seven targets for a 25-yard gain during Sunday's 34-17 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Brown and Jackson connected for a nice 25-yard catch-and-run over the middle midway through the first quarter, but the fun ended there. Brown has just one catch each in of Jackson's two starts in place of Joe Flacco (hip) and it isn't as if he was dominating with Flacco -- tallying just 43 total yards in his last two games with Flacco. Next Sunday brings a pretty poor Atlanta defense that has, despite its struggles, actually been solid against big-play threats like Brown, surrendering just 11.0 yards per reception.

Brown caught three of six targets for 15 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown came nowhere close to his 3-116-1 receiving line from the first matchup between these divisional rivals, and he's now fallen shy of 30 yards in three of the past four games. He nonetheless remains on pace for a 1,000-yard season as the Ravens enter their bye week, with his boom-or-bust nature reflected in a low catch rate (51 percent) and a strong mark of 17.7 yards per catch. Brown gets a run of favorable matchups on the other side of his bye, facing the Raiders, Bengals, Falcons, Buccaneers and Chiefs in Weeks 11-15.

Brown caught three of seven targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 36-21 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was second on the team in targets for the game but was held to just 28 yards for the second time in the last three weeks. While the 28-year-old has established himself as the Ravens' number-one receiver with four games of at least 86 yards on the year, only one of those came in the last four contests. He'll look forward to a Week 9 home rematch with Pittsburgh, whom he torched for 116 yards and a touchdown in Week 4.
