Marquise Brown (WR, ARI): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~74 Overall

CURRENT ADP: ~89

ANALYSIS:  Marquise Brown had an unreal start to 2022, averaging a whopping 10.6 targets per game through six weeks before suffering an injury that knocked him out for the next five. Upon returning, Brown was the second option in the offense with DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension. 

Brown averaged a more than respectable 7.2 targets per game over the last six games of the season. But he operated as more of a short-yardage option rather than the deep threat he has typically been over his career.

Heading into 2023, Hopkins is no longer in Arizona and Brown is undoubtedly the top option in the passing game. The biggest question mark is the matter of who will be throwing him the ball. Kyler Murray tore his ACL late in the 2022 season and will not be ready for Week 1, leaving veteran Colt McCoy as the likely starter with rookie Clayton Tune potentially pushing for playing time.

While Arizona’s quarterback situation is the worst in the league, Brown is guaranteed to be receiving heavy target shares as long as he is on the field. He has shown versatility operating as both a deep threat and a short-yardage guy over his career but has also been banged up and missed extensive time (five games in 2022). 

While McCoy and Tune likely won’t be throwing deep passes, they will be throwing the ball as Arizona projects to be playing from behind in many games this season. Brown projects as a guy who may not score a lot of touchdowns, but should be penciled in for a safe 9-12 targets per game every week. In fantasy football, volume is king and you won’t find another player with this much volume at this point in drafts.
