What It Means:

Brown said he was at 177 pounds at the end of June. He's now up to 180 pounds after playing at 157 as a rookie. Last year's first-round pick arrived at Oklahoma at 144 pounds as a freshman but checked in at 166 before the draft. The hope is that Brown will be able to maintain his speed while also improving his durability. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh previously said Brown was "rarely at 100 percent" as a rookie. He still managed to put up 584 yards and 7 touchdowns on 46 catches (71 targets) in 14 games while emerging as Baltimore's clear top receiver. Mark Andrews was the only other player on the squad to see more than 50 targets.

Brown is the WR32 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models project him to lead all Ravens' wideouts again with 106.8 targets, 66.8 receptions, 813.1 yards, and 6.6 touchdowns.
