Instant Fantasy Analysis - WR Marquise Brown, Ravens

[The Football Guru 211]

Marquise Brown Profile

Brown is the first receiver to come off the board at No. 25 and the draft's biggest home run threat. His draft stock wasn't helped by the Lisfranc injury he suffered during the Big 12 Championship, and his subsequent surgery to correct the problem kept him from working out at the NFL Combine and in the weeks leading up to the draft. Although he never received any combine testing numbers, it's safe to say he may enter the league as one of the NFL's top-five fastest players. My high-end comp for him was T.Y. Hilton and many others believe he is a DeSean Jackson clone, and it is entirely possible he settles somewhere in between the two. Unfortunately, Lamar Jackson isn't exactly known for his accuracy and Baltimore is expected to maintain the run-heavy offense it employed once Jackson took over last season. Given the fact Willie Snead is the best receiver on the roster, Brown should not have any issue becoming an instant starter. Unfortunately, the Ravens' offensive approach makes it hard to get too excited about his fantasy prospects as things stand now. Owners should view him as little more than a low-end WR4 in redraft leagues. Similarly, he makes for an unexciting pick in rookie drafts.

Disaster. The fastest, tiniest guy is paired with the worst passer in the league.  Add in the fact that he has now been tainted by the psychotic, idiot cousin, AB, you can be the will go nuts when he puts up paltry numbers.
