Brown caught all seven of his targets for 134 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-23 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Brown put the Ravens in position to tie the game in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, swinging up the right sideline to settle under a 14-yard Joe Flacco loft pass. A Justin Tucker missed PAT proved to be the difference. Brown entered Sunday with back-to-back off games against the stingy pass defenses of Cleveland and Tennessee. Sunday's performance, however, showed why he's the Baltimore receiver to own as he extended his streak of games with a 20-yard reception to seven. He'll try to extend it to eight next Sunday against a Panthers pass defense ranked 17th in opponent yards per reception at 11.7.

Brown hauled in two of his three targets for 28 yards in the Ravens' 21-0 win over the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After drawing a season-high 14 targets in the Week 5 loss to Cleveland, Brown saw his least involvement in the passing game to date in the Ravens' resounding win. Game flow was largely responsible for Brown's lack of work, as Baltimore took an early lead that was never truly threatened while the Titans punted on all nine of their possessions. The Ravens' Week 7 home date against a high-powered Saints offense should prove to be a more competitive battle, so fantasy owners who have been consistently relying on Brown thus far shouldn't hesitate to keep him active again after one down performance.

Brown hauled in just four of 14 targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Brown struggled to get on the same page as quarterback Joe Flacco in this one, but he was still Flacco's target of choice on 14 of 56 throws. Between his big play ability and large target share in Baltimore's offense, Brown should stay in the mainstream fantasy conversation all season long, including the upcoming Week 6 clash with Tennessee.

Brown (not injury-related) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out of Wednesday's practice for a non-injury-related issue, Brown was back in action as a full participant Thursday. Brown is second on the team in target share at 18 percent but has the team lead in receiving yards at 222 -- 67 more than Michael Crabtree. He'll face a Steelers secondary that allows the second-most points to opposing receivers (34.8) in Week 4.

Brown (disclosed) did not practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was spotted on the field Wednesday without a helmet or pads, while working with special teams, but he didn't return once individual drills commenced. We'll circle back on his status once the Ravens' Wednesday injury report reveals the nature of the wideout's injury/ailment.

Brown grabbed five of nine targets for 86 yards during Sunday's 27-14 win over Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Brown feasted on a depleted Denver secondary on Sunday, particularly while speeding past rookie Isaac Yiadom for a 44-yard gain in the second quarter. Remember those Ravens offenses of the past few seasons that were pretty much three yards and a cloud of dust whether running or passing? Not anymore. Brown's speed is adding a new dimension to Baltimore's offense, hauling in the football at a 18.5-yards-per-catch clip. He next takes on a Pittsburgh defense that has been exploited in the passing game thus far this season.

Brown caught three of four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 47-3 win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Brown drew rave reviews in camp and kept it going late in the first quarter, connecting with Joe Flacco on a seven-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone. Brown had a 1,000-yard season as a sophomore in 2015, so the ability was there not long ago. He fell out of favor in Arizona, but he may have rebooted his career in Baltimore.

Brown isn't in uniform for Saturday's preseason contest in Miami, freelance NFL writer Jeff Zrebiec reports.
EDGE Analysis
With two catches for 24 yards through two exhibitions, Brown isn't exactly lighting up the box score in his new locale, but his presence of mind to get both feet down in the back of the end zone Monday against the Colts was otherworldly. While his injury history needs to be considered at all times, he has a career mark of 14.5 YPC and one 1,000-yard campaign on his resume.

Brown scored a seven-yard touchdown on his lone reception on two targets in Monday night's 20-19 win over the Colts in the third preseason game.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was targeted with a bomb downfield on Baltimore's first offensive play of the game. Although he and Joe Flacco were unable to connect on that instance, Brown's electric speed figures to result in more regular deep shots from the Ravens this season ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports. Not just a one-trick pony, however, a seam route in the red zone freed Brown for a bobbling, toe-dragging touchdown catch on his next look. That proved to be his final contribution of the evening, punctuating another encouraging outing for his new team.

Brown has been one of the standouts during the Ravens' training camp and has consistently made big plays during practices, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic Baltimore reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's statistics (one reception for 17 yards) were modest in his lone preseason game, but there's little to glean from that with the first-team offense seeing only limited action. Perhaps of greater importance, quarterback Joel Flacco has shown some strong rapport early with Brown in scrimmages and drills, both as a deep target and on intermediate and underneath routes. Michael Crabtree will have a role in the Ravens' passing attack as a chain mover, but after averaging a meager 6.1 yards per target in 2017, he makes for a suspect No. 1 option at receiver. If Brown can stay healthy and keep impressing once the regular season unfolds, it may not take long for him to unseat Crabtree as Flacco's favorite target.
