ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Miami Dolphins have reached an agreement with former Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown on a one-year contract. The financial terms have not been disclosed. The 30-year-old will join his sixth NFL team since signing with the Las Vegas (Oakland) Raiders in 2016 as an undrafted free agent. Brown was the third-leading snap-getter for the Seahawks in 2024 (264), though it only amounted to eight receptions and 65 scoreless yards across 15 games. The Oregon product presents as a depth piece for Miami, as he'll likely compete for playing time with fellow tight end Julian Hill behind Jonnu Smith, who led the team in receptions a season ago.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (groin) returned to practice as a full participant during Tuesday's session. The 30-year-old was a limited participant during Monday's walkthrough, but appears to be feeling better now. That is good news for Brown as the Seahawks head into a Thursday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Brown has been quiet this season and had only one reception for seven yards last week. He figures to serve as depth with Noah Fant being the primary tight end and AJ Barner has started getting involved as well. Brown can be left on the waiver wire ahead of this Week 6 matchup.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate. It's too early to tell whether he'll be able to suit up on Thursday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers. He still has two more days to maintain or improve his practice status before the Seahawks have to make an official decision on his Week 6 status. Brown has caught just one pass in each of his last three games, logging a 14 percent snap share in Week 5. He remains behind Noah Fant and AJ Barner on the depth chart and can be avoided in all fantasy football leagues.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (groin) was estimated as a limited participant during Monday's walkthrough. Fantasy managers shouldn't read much into this as it's not an official practice. Regardless, Brown hasn't been much of a fantasy asset this season anyway. He finished with one reception for seven yards during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the New York Giants. The 30-year-old mainly serves as depth with Noah Fant being the primary tight end in Seattle. The Seahawks are on a short week with a Thursday matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The absence of Brown would probably mean that AJ Barner has a slightly bigger role.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Detroit Lions. Brown has been limited in practice all week due to a foot injury that cost him the first two games of the season. Brown figures to serve as the primary backup tight end to Noah Fant. He finished with one reception on two targets for nine yards during his season debut in Week 3. The Seahawks have a handful of viable options on offense, so Brown falls pretty far down on the pecking order. The 30-year-old can be avoided for fantasy purposes right now.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) was ruled out for the season opener against the Denver Broncos, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Brown suffered a foot injury earlier in August during a team practice and has not returned to practice yet this week. As a result, the 30-year-old will remain sidelined during Week 1. Fantasy managers should expect Brady Russell and AJ Barner to compete for the No.2 tight end spot on Sunday while Noah Fant sees the lion's share of snaps and targets at the position. Fant has also been dealing with a toe injury but has practiced in a limited capacity this week. Last season as a Patriot, Brown caught just 13 passes for 208 yards a score. Brown will likely not have any fantasy value this season serving in a depth role on the Seattle offense.
Pharaoh Brown Headed For Significant Blocking Role?
Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown is expected to have a significant role as a blocker in 2024, former NFL quarterback Brock Huard told Mike Salk of Seattle Sports. This news follows some whispers out of Seattle (also from Huard) that Noah Fant will receive increased attention in the passing game but could lose some blocking opportunities to Brown. When explaining how he'd approach the tight end position in Seattle, Huard noted, "I'm going to use that other guy, Pharaoh [Brown], that guy can block, and we believe he's one of the best run-blocking tight ends, so we're going to put that guy in many of those burden situations in the run game." This adds some important context to the Seahawks' depth chart ahead of 2024 fantasy drafts. Brown was never a legitimate fantasy option, but this latest update suggests that Fant could be trending up. Managers preparing for 2024 fantasy drafts should view Fant as a mid-range TE2 and Brown as a mid-to-low TE3.
Free-agent tight end Pharaoh Brown is signing a one-year, $3.2 million base-value deal with the Seattle Seahawks this week, according to a source. Brown can make a maximum of $3.9 million on incentives. He will give quarterback Geno Smith another veteran option in the passing game in 2024 after catching 15 passes for a career-high 208 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (11 starts) with the New England Patriots last season. The 29-year-old has just 64 receptions (88 targets) for 686 yards and three touchdowns in his six years in the NFL, so nobody is expecting Brown to become a very big part of Seattle's passing attack in 2024, especially while he plays second fiddle to primary pass-catching tight end Noah Fant. Brown had a career-high 23 receptions in 2021 with the Houston Texans.
Despite being listed as questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Jets on Sunday, New England Patriots tight end Pharaoh Brown (ribs) is active. It's notable mainly because starting tight end Hunter Henry (knee) will close out the year with his third straight absence. With Henry still out, the 29-year-old Brown should have a bigger role in the passing attack, although he's going to share valuable snaps with fellow tight end Mike Gesicki. At best, Brown will be a low-cost, touchdown-dependent, low-upside DFS play at the tight end position in a meaningless game. Brown hasn't caught more than two passes in any game this year and has a total of just 12 receptions for 208 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets all season.
New England Patriots tight end Pharaoh Brown (ribs) is questionable for Week 18's matchup against the New York Jets. Brown was a limited participant in practice all week while tending to a rib injury suffered in the Patriots' Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 29-year-old is used primarily as a blocker, running a route on just 21% of his plays and drawing just 12 targets all season. With Hunter Henry (knee) out for the season finale, it is possible he will get more use as a receiver, though. In New England's Week 3 contest against the Jets, Brown had his best game of the year, getting two receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown. Another fluke touchdown may come his way in Week 18 but he still makes for a risky DFS play.
