Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown has had a frustrating season with both injuries and lack of production as he currently sits with 51 catches for 574 yards and four touchdowns this season.
Brown hasn't practiced in two weeks and has left mid-game now in back-to-back weeks with a heel injury, however. This of course leaves his status up in the air for Week 16.
Will Brown be available for the Cardinals' Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears? What is the latest Marquise Brown injury news?

Marquise Brown Injury Update for Fantasy Football
The latest injury news for Brown came from Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon who said that as of now, wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) is unlikely to be placed on injured reserve, which is a great sign for the wideout as he has been dealing with a heel injury since Week 13 and then had the Week 14 bye to rest.
However, his current status is that he was unable to play in the Week 15 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Hollywood suited up on Sunday but aggravated his heel injury, leaving his status for Week 16 against the Chicago Bears in jeopardy.
Expect Brown to miss practice time this week, making him a gamble of a fantasy option for Week 16.
Marquise Brown Fantasy Football Outlook
Despite the return of star quarterback Kyler Murray, his chemistry with Brown hasn't shown this season and it doesn't help that Brown has now left two straight games with the same heel injury. In Week 12, however, we saw him catch six of his 12 targets for 88 yards but has yet to catch a ball since.
Because of Brown's lack of touchdowns this season, even if he is healthy, he seems like a high-risk, high-reward player as most of Brown's catches have been previously off of chunk plays that he really hasn't seen a lot of this season.
This week, Brown has a tough matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Bears are second in the NFL in interceptions this season and have shown tremendous defensive efforts in the last three weeks. Brown is a risky start because he has now shown back-to-back weeks where he left mid-game due to an injury that probably should have kept him out for a few weeks. Fantasy managers will have to monitor his injury status throughout the week and will need to see at least one day of practice in order to have any sort of confidence moving forward.
