Will Marquise Brown Play in Week 4? (2023 Fantasy Football)

Week 4 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.

Marquise Brown has scored twice on the young 2023 season on an offense that was supposed to be terrible, a pleasant surprise for fantasy managers who roster him. However, he popped up on the injury report this week with a thumb injury. So will Marquise Brown play in Week 4? Here’s the latest.

Marquise Brown (thumb) is questionable to play in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Brown was added to the injury report this week because of a thumb injury, and his status for Sunday is now up in the air because of it. He’s officially considered questionable, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. If he’s out, Rondale Moore and rookie Michael Wilson will both be in line for more work against a tough 49ers’ defense.

What the Experts Are Saying

Brown is the WR32 in fantasy with a 26.8% Target share and a 37.5% air yard share. He has drawn two deep targets and four red zone targets (13th-best). Against zone coverage, Brown maintains a strong 24.4% Target share with 2.53 YPRR and a 33.3% first read share. Brown will run about 81% of his routes against Deommodore Lenoir (73.1% catch rate and 76.8 passer rating) and Charvarius Ward (60.9% catch rate and 59.3 passer rating). Week 4 Positional Value: WR4
