News: 6 days agoBrown has been among the Saints' top performers through seven training camp practices, Ross Jackson of Louisianasports.net reports.

Spin: Brown provided the highlight of Thursday's practice on a 46-yard touchdown catch from Spencer Rattler in a two-minute situation. The rookie sixth-round pick is building momentum in a Saints receiving corps led by Chris Olave and rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson. Brown will likely make his NFL debut Aug. 15 in the Saints' preseason opener against the Jaguars.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brown was selected by the Saints in the sixth round of April's draft. Brown is a thin, vertical receiver who handled a healthy 21% target share across 50 collegiate games at Kentucky and LSU. Brown struggled a bit with drops and efficiency, but made some noise as a rusher (32-228-2 across four seasons) and figures to make his biggest impact as a kick returner (65 kick returns for 1,910 yards and six TDs are all easily tops in this rookie class). With Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson cemented atop the depth chart, Brown is well off the fantasy radar.
