Noah Brown Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday to no practice on Friday. Brown evidently still isn’t at 100% and would be a shaky fantasy play against the Jets’ top-ranked WR defense in bad weather.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is expected to play vs. the Jets today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Brown was limited in Wednesday's practice and a full participant on Thursday but then sidelined on Friday. It's safe to assume he won't be at 100% for this one. Throw in the matchup against the Jets' No. 1 WR defense, and Brown is not a recommended Week 14 fantasy starter.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday to no practice on Friday. Brown played last week after missing Friday's practice, so we're still expecting him to be out there on Sunday. But between the knee issue and the matchup against the Jets' top-ranked WR defense, Brown is not a recommended Week 14 fantasy starter.

Texans WR Nico Collins ended Sunday with a 9-191-1 receiving line, reaching new career highs in receptions and receiving yards in Week 13 vs. the Broncos. This is the third time in 2023 that Collins has eclipsed the 100-yard mark and found the end zone in the same game. It’ll be vital for Houston’s offense that he maintains this success in the aftermath of rookie WR Tank Dell leaving the contest in the first quarter with a broken fibula. Fantasy managers were already starting Collins in lineups, but those seeking a Dell replacement should look no further than Noah Brown. While he didn’t record a catch on either of his 2 targets, Brown paced Collins with 100% route participation and snap rate in Week 13, clearly serving as the Texans' WR2. Plus, he’d recorded back-to-back 100+-yard efforts that yielded top-6 PPR finishes between Week 9-10 prior to being sidelined by a knee injury. Keep an eye out for Brown on the waiver wire.

Texans WR Tank Dell has been diagnosed with a fractured fibula and will be placed on IR, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dell will miss at least four games and is likely done for the regular season. We'll look for a more concrete timetable for his return. Dell's injury is a hit to QB C.J. Stroud's fantasy value but leaves behind a lot of opportunity for Houston's other pass catchers. Nico Collins will be the clear No. 1 the rest of the way, with WRs Noah Brown, Robert Woods, and John Metchie behind him. We'll have more on those guys in this week's waiver wire article.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. It’ll be his first action since Week 10 – and the first time Houston has Brown, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods available at the same time since Week 1. We’re betting on Brown out-snapping and out-producing Woods as the No. 3 WR. But we’d rather wait on getting Brown back in fantasy lineups.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is expected to play vs. the Broncos today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday, so we're a bit surprised he's playing. This will be the first time since Week 1 that Brown, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods are all available. Brown actually led the Texans with a 75% route rate in that one, although it's safe to say that won't be the case today. We'd try not to use Brown in Week 13 fantasy lineups with the playing-time uncertainty in his first game off a multi-week knee injury.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in Wednesday and Thursday’s practices but then sidelined on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Brown, but don’t plan on using him in Week 13 fantasy lineups at this point.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday -- his first since going down in Week 10. We'll see if Brown is able to make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He'd be tough to trust in Week 13 fantasy lineups, though, assuming Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods all play.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. Robert Woods will again operate as Houston’s No. 3 WR behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins this weekend.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. At this point, fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. That'd again leave Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods as Houston's top three WRs.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. That leaves Robert Woods in the No. 3 WR spot, behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins. Woods has been inefficient all season and is no better than a WR4 today.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Cardinals today. Schefter adds that, "the Texans want to work him out pregame before making any decisions." We'll get Houston's inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Brown should be on fantasy benches for now.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He didn’t practice all week, though, and insider Aaron Wilson said Friday that Brown won’t play this weekend. He should be on fantasy benches. Brown’s absence will keep Robert Woods in the No. 3 WR role, behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins.
