Marquise Brown Week 1 Outlook - Chiefs at Cardinals

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 8th 2022, 10:30am EDT

Marquise Brown should be Kyler Murray's number one option until DeAndre Hopkins returns. Brown saw the 12th-highest target share last year and 11th-most air yards last season among wide receivers. Brown ranked eighth in route win rate and ninth in win rate against man coverage finishing as the WR21 in fantasy points per game. After sitting at eighth in deep targets in the NFL last season, he should be Murray's go-to for deep balls. Brown will line up opposite Rashad Fenton and rookie Trent McDuffie this week. Fenton gave up a 69.2% catch rate and 91.2 passer rating in 2021. Expect Brown to challenge the rookie immediately to see if he's up to the task of hanging with him all game.
