Why It Matters: Brown is a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list since he will miss at least four weeks. Romeo Doubs should be the main receiver for the time being, while DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry should be reliable short-area targets in the passing game. Mack Hollins will likely see a bigger workload and could be a possible flex option over the next few weeks. Kyle Williams could also see a role but is not a fantasy option yet.
