49ers Signing Free-Agent Wide Receiver Jaron Brown
The San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Jaron Brown, adding further depth to their wide receiver corps. It's been an eventful past week at the wide receiver position for the team. The 49ers signed fellow veteran wide receivers J.J. Nelson and Tavon Austin, yet they also lost wide receiver Jalen Hurd (knee) to a torn ACL. Brown spent the past two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, playing sparingly and compiling just 220 yards on 16 receptions. He likely won't have a significant role in the offense, but he at least gives the team more veteran depth at the position. San Fran is also bracing for Deebo Samuel (foot) to potentially miss the beginning of the season.
The San Francisco 49ers are working out veteran wide receiver Jaron Brown on Monday, according to a source. Brown spent the last two years with the Seahawks, catching only 16 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns in 2019. He has spent seven seasons in the NFC West with the Seahawks and Cardinals and is looking to stay in the division. It comes after it was reported that Jalen Hurd suffered a major knee injury in training camp, so Brown could provide the Niners with some much-needed receiver depth with both Deebo Samuel (foot) and Hurd injured. Even if Brown signs with San Fran, he'll be battling for a depth position and is unlikely to have much fantasy appeal.
Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaron Brown (knee) and Malik Turner (concussion) were taken off the final injury report for the Divisional Round against the Packers on Sunday. They'll both play after missing the wild-card game against the Eagles. It means that Brown and Turner will now rotate in with David Moore as the No. 3 wideout behind Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. In this run-first offense, nobody outside of Lockett or Metcalf can be trusted in fantasy lineups. Seattle is expected to run the rock often as long as game script allows against a Green Bay rushing defense that is very vulnerable.
Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaron Brown (knee) and Malik Turner (concussion) both practiced in full on Thursday after being limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should return to action in the Divisional Round on Sunday against the Seahawks, giving them more depth behind Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and David Moore. In this run-first offense, however, neither Brown nor Turner are anything more than really deep DFS sleepers on the road in Green Bay.
Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaron Brown (knee) and Malik Turner (concussion) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players have a chance to return for the Divisional Round against the Packers, barring a setback later this week. However, neither player is much of a fantasy option if they return, as they'll be behind Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and David Moore in the receiving pecking order in a run-first offense. Brown finished the 2019 season with only 16 receptions (28 targets) for 220 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games, while Turner had 15 catches for 245 yards and only one score in 15 contests.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee, personal) is expected back for the Divisional Round against the Packers on Sunday and should be in meetings on Tuesday. Brown missed the wild-card win over the Eagles with a personal matter, and his knee isn't considered an issue. The 29-year-old has just 16 receptions for 220 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games this season, so he won't be much of a DFS option this weekend. His return to the field could cut into David Moore's time on the field as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf.
Jaron Brown, Mike Iupati Questionable Against Eagles
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee, personal) and offensive guard Mike Iupati (neck) are both questionable for the wild-card game against the Eagles on Sunday. Brown is not expected to play, which would leave David Moore as the No. 3 wide receiver with Malik Turner (concussion) already ruled out. Don't ignore Moore as a low-cost DFS sleeper this weekend. If Iupati sits out, Seattle's offensive line could be in trouble with left tackle Duane Brown (biceps, knee) also out against a very tough Philadelphia defensive front. Quarterback Russell Wilson and running backs Travis Homer and Marshawn Lynch could face heavy pressure.
Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain that will keep him from playing in the wild-card game against the Eagles on Sunday. Head coach Pete Carroll also confirmed that linebacker Mychal Kendricks (knee) has a torn ACL and needs surgery, which will end his season. With Malik Turner (concussion) questionable for this weekend, David Moore will likely serve as the No. 3 wideout behind Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf in wild-card weekend. Moore will be a low-priced lottery ticket in DFS action against a Philadelphia secondary that has been playing better of late.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in the Week 17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday night, according to a source. The Seahawks will see how he progresses during the week before determining if he can play in the wild-card game against the Eagles on Sunday. Brown had just 16 catches for 220 yards and two touchdowns this year, so he won't really be on the DFS radar if he's active this weekend. Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf will remain the team's primary pass-catchers, while David Moore and rookie John Ursua could see more targets in the playoffs if Brown and Malik Turner (concussion) remain out.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee) suffered a knee injury on the first series of the Week 17 Sunday night game against the 49ers and was immediately ruled out for the rest of the contest. It left the Seahawks with just Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf, David Moore and John Ursua. Malik Turner (concussion) was inactive. If Brown is unable to play in wild-card weekend next week, Seattle may need to add another receiver to the 53-man roster. Brown was unable to secure either of his two targets before his injury early in the game. The 29-year-old has just 16 receptions for 220 yards and two touchdowns this year and isn't fantasy relevant in this run-first offense.
