Brown brought in one of four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown hauled in a 52-yard throw from Drew Stanton in the first quarter, but that ultimately proved to be the extent of his production. The 27-year-old has logged just one reception in each of his last two games, so his numbers continue to fluctuate significantly from game to game. Brown's health has at least held up in recent weeks, but he figures to continue serving as a hit-or-miss option in both season-long and daily formats, especially with Drew Stanton behind center.

Brown earned 42 of the Cardinals' 49 offensive snaps during Sunday's 33-0 loss to the Rams in London. However, he gathered in just one of four passes for six yards.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was unable to play in Weeks 2 and 3 due to complications from his sickle-cell trait, but the next three outings were fruitful as he served as the No. 2 wideout behind Larry Fitzgerald. During that span, Brown recorded eight receptions (on 18 targets) for 136 yards and two touchdowns. His usage remained consistent Sunday, but he suffered from the departure of Carson Palmer (broken left arm), hauling in none of the three passes from his replacement Drew Stanton. Due to the potential for health issues to arise suddenly and the downgrade in quarterback play, it's difficult to rely on Brown moving forward.

Brown isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown missed Weeks 2 and 3 with a quadriceps injury and has been listed on the injury report ever since. The Cardinals have finally deemed him fully healthy, after watching him play at least 47 snaps in each of the past three games. Brown comfortably outsnapped Jaron Brown and J.J. Nelson the past two weeks, thus re-establishing himself as the clear No. 2 receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald. The role is a bit less attractive than it would've been a few weeks ago, as the early returns suggest Adrian Peterson's presence could allow for a balanced offensive approach. Carson Palmer attempted just 22 passes in Sunday's 36-33 win over the Buccaneers, after averaging 45.4 through the first five weeks of the season. Week 7 brings a road matchup against a Rams defense that ranks 13th against the pass (210.7 yards) and 29th against the run (139.5 yards).

Brown brought in three of four targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown reportedly came into the contest as healthy as he's been all season and was able to get into the end zone for the second consecutive contest. The 27-year-old was able to bring in a 17-yard pass from Carson Palmer on what appeared to be a partly busted coverage early in the third quarter and continues to serve as an effective complement to Larry Fitzgerald. Brown will look to build on Sunday's season-high yardage total versus the Rams in Week 7.

Brown (quad) was a full participant at Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown hadn't logged a full practice since Week 1, despite playing 48 and 53 snaps in Arizona's last two games. He's drawn at least seven targets in each of his three appearances this season, and he has a good opportunity to finally turn the volume into efficient production, facing a Tampa Bay defense that's surrendered a league-high 218 yards per game to wide receivers.

Brown (quadricep) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the third week in a row, Brown is kicking off game preparation with a cap on his practice reps. On a positive note, the appearance comes on the heels of his first touchdown of the season Sunday at Philadelphia, during which he also handled the second most offensive snaps among Cardinals wide receivers behind Larry Fitzgerald. While his sickle-cell trait may serve to keep his activity level in check this week, Brown will likely be healthy enough to suit up this Sunday versus the Buccaneers, barring a setback.

Brown (quadriceps) posted two catches (on seven targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-7 loss at Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has been active for three of the Cardinals' five games this season, but his catch rate has fallen short of 50 percent on each occasion. As the sole Cardinal to reach the end zone, though, he was able to make the most of his targets in Week 5. Another positive development from the contest was Brown's snap count. After Larry Fitzgerald's 57 (of 60 on offense), Brown ranked second with 48, moving ahead of Jaron Brown (36) for the first time since Week 1. (John) Brown's workload will be dependent on how he reacts to his sickle-cell trait from week-to-week. That said, Sunday's allowance indicates he may have been as healthy as he's been all season.

Brown (quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday in Philadelphia, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since he was diagnosed with a sickle-cell trait last season, Brown has appeared on the Cardinals' injury report routinely with a variety of leg injuries. On this occasion, he'll play through a quadriceps issue, but it remains to be seen if he'll handle a similar workload to a week ago. Last Sunday versus the 49ers, he hauled in three of seven passes for 47 yards while logging 62 percent of the offensive snaps.

Brown (quadriceps) is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has been a regular on the injury report since the season opener, with his sickle-cell trait impacting his quadriceps. Brown was limited at practice this week and is listed as questionable on the official injury report. It sounds like he'll play, but fantasy owners will want to check his status before kickoff.

The Cardinals are listed Brown (quadriceps) as questionable for the team's Week 5 matchup Sunday with the Eagles, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Because Brown's sickle-cell trait can routinely present leg pain, it's expected that the wideout's practice time could be limited throughout the season, as was the case this week. Brown was at least healthy enough to play 53 offensive snaps ago a week ago against the 49ers, hauling in three passes for 47 yards in his return from a two-game absence. If Brown receives clearance to play again Sunday, he'll likely be in store for a similarly sizable snap count.
