Adam Schefter BREAKING: Marquise Brown (shoulder) expected to miss Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup

payday at the end of the year if he's able to stay healthy because that's going to be the big concern staying healthy he's he's undersized by wide receiver standards uh but if he's able to get open Patrick Mahomes will certainly find him the football and then I think a lot of those passes will end in huge gains and potentially even touchdowns yeah Brown penin is wide receiver too Juju Smith Shuster also on that line and you mentioned Justin Watson so do you expect a committee approach in terms of wide receiver two here until Brown is 100% cleared yeah and Jeremy I think you can argue that this wide receiver group when when Brown is eventually healthy is better than the one that won the Super Bowl last year when it was a wide receiver by committee and oh by the way we have Travis kelse as well uh I think that's going to continue to to be their game plan and they keep stockpiling tight ends by the way Jeremy they drafted Jerry Wy uh they traded for for hinder shot recently from the Cowboys so they have a plan to tight end in a postt Travis Kelce world too perhaps we see some of that transition happen in the coming weeks and even over the course of the Season uh about how the different ways they can use their eligibles to to get Guys open and let Patrick Mahomes do his thing so I'm not concerned at all uh I wish Maris Brown uh all the health in the world and gets back to 100% as soon as possible but in the meantime Jeremy I feel like the Chiefs are going to be okay offensively yeah you and I were discussing before unless it's Patrick Mahomes or Andy Reid I think the Chiefs are going to be fine they are the defending Super Bowl season Acquisitions as they try to give Patrick Mahomes more weapons in the wide receiver room along with first round dra first round draft pick Xavier Worthy right let's bring in fantasy expert Jamie Eisenberg for more on this Jamie we were talking about this earlier this is the biggest draft weekend of the fantasy football season so a lot of managers may not necessarily be targeting Hollywood brown but in terms of draft strategy what does this do to his value as people are heading into drafts I mean Jeremy it makes him a bargain I I still think there's a big season ahead for him look he's tied to the best quarterback from a passing perspective he's ever played with clearly he's played with a two-time MVP and Lamar Jackson as well but we know Mahomes from a passing standpoint is clearly a different type of quarterback and being in Andy Reid system and playing with Mahomes you know the opportunity was there for him to have a big year so it's still in front of him but the fact that he's going to miss week one miss week one and may miss week two this was something that was a little frustrating once he suffered the injury in the preseason so I think when you're drafting this weekend you just let him fall and you take him as a fifth receiver maybe a fourth receiver if you love the first three guys you have and you just sort of wait the position out but there's still the opportunity for him to be a Difference Maker look rashley rice probably not going to get suspended but that's still out there Xavier worthy still a rookie wide receiver and we know rookies take time to develop in this offense and Travis Kel's 35 so they were expecting big things from Hollywood Brown I think fantasy managers can still do so as well but you're just going to have to wait it out with Maris Brown so don't draft him to be a starter anytime soon is there another Chief or other Chiefs that you're targeting outside of obviously Travis Kelce and Rashid rice are the big guys I mean would you look at an Xavier worthy as an option instead of Maris Brown Justin Watson what about Juju Smith Shuster yeah really the only guy is worthy and he's been getting drafted ahead of Maris Brown for several weeks now once the injury happened and you saw some of the plays in the preseason and and the reports in training camp you know and you look he's a firstr rookie talent and I think everybody's a little bit looking at him from a polarizing perspective the speed receivers at the combine don't necessarily perform well but the speed receivers that end up with Andy Reid and and Patrick Mahomes you're buying into and so he's more than just a fast track guy he's going to make some place his route Tre will be developed uh early on um I don't think they wanted to have to rely on him maybe as much as they have to knowing that they were expecting Maris Brown to be a part of this and and again it may just be one week and so the fact that they're playing on Thursday as opposed to Sunday who knows if he'll be able to play if it was a Sunday night game or Sunday uh uh game in general but look Worthy's got so much upside and potential and once you get past the top two rookie wide receivers there's Marvin Harrison Jr and Malik neighbors then there's the group of guys that any one of them can stand out Above the Rest Brian Thomas Keon Coleman um Romo dun and and Xavier worthy they're all bunched up for me in my ranking I like Thomas the best but Worthy's right up there if you want to take worthy as the number one as the third rookie wide receiver number one guy of that bunch I have no problem with him haven't played a game yet but of course uh guys do have their fantasy teams going and we know Jamie that guys you know once guys get hurt sometimes you're pulling the trigger moving things on the roster if you've got Maris Brown on your roster now he's out week one possibly week two is he a guy you're stashing or you going to the waiver wire right away to see if you can find something else oh if he's available on waivers and somebody drops him I'm picking him up right away because again again this is a a marathon not a Sprint you're not winning week one you're not winning your fantasy league in week one you're winning it in week 17 so you want to have Mars Brown on your roster but if somebody gets impatient you know a 10 Team league there's a lot of options on the waiver wire uh and somebody does drop him you certainly should be aggressive in getting him but if you are looking for replacement guys you know you're talking about maybe Josh Palmer khil Shakir if they don't get drafted a little bit further down which makes more sense is guys like Davian Wicks Brandon Cooks uh Gabe Davis and Jacksonville Greg dorch and deeper league in in uh Arizona you know so there's going to be some options on the waiver wire uh but please don't drop Maris Brown don't don't just because he's not playing week one does not mean he's out for the season fantasy analyst Jamie Eisenberg joining us to discuss the breaking news the Kansas City Chiefs announcing they will be without Hollywood Brown for week one in their opener against the Ravens and the fantasy implications that have from that as Jamie said Don't drop them don't drop them just wait it's a marathon not a Sprint they're giving you tons of great fantasy advice over on fantasy football today you want to be listening to the latest episode especially if you've got drafts coming into this weekend this is the biggest draft where we start in the NFL where the Miami Dolphins have extended Mike McDaniel's contract through the 2028 season that's the very latest from our own NFL Insider Jonathan Jones it was a big off season for the Dolphins signing star players like Jaylen Wadd and tuatonga ioa to Big extensions and now their head coach Mike McDaniel gets a new deal himself now in college football North Carolina quarterback Max Johnson was carded off the field with a hip injury in last night's season opening win over Minnesota the transfer from Texas A&M just won the starting job in Camp Johnson was taken to a nearby hospital but there's no word just yet on the severity of the injury or how long he'll be out in recruiting news five-star wide receiver Jamie French committed to the Texas Longhorns this morning our partners at 247 Sports ranked French as number four wide receiver in the class of 202 he's the second five-star commit to Texas so far this cycle the Longhorns is class currently ranks seventh in the nation Jets 49ers does Drake May survive that uh that's the question I would lean towards Bret it feels like d Mayo is not quite certain after what we saw from Drake May in the preseason but I wouldn't over complicate it because you don't want to be a situation where Drake gets sacked a ton and then you have to take him out in week five or six Ryan just to follow on that because I know that there's a lot of Patriots fans with those same concerns they don't want to put their franchise quarterback out behind a shaky offensive line until they can get all of that sorted too so at what point of the season do the Patriots have to say look we need to get this guy in the game he needs to get reps he we need to turn our Seasons around here so at what point do you think we see him start Drake May is one of the youngest players drafted Haley and in a perfect world with the understanding that the Patriots aren't winning 10 games and I think their win total right now is four and a half so if they win five or six games I wouldn't play him at all maybe you play him the last month of the season in the last few weeks of the regular season Once it's clear that they're out of the playoff Chase but I don't know if there's a rush to get them out there I know some people will argue that the more reps you can take the better and I I think in a perfect world that's the case but we saw going back in the day to David Carr when he was drafted by the Texans he was regularly sacked 70 times a year and that's no way to start a career so I would be fine sitting for the year we live in a day and age where that doesn't happen with first- round quarterbacks so if you can get to Thanksgiving and then give him a chance to get his feet wet I would like to see that happen I imagine he sees the feeli much sooner than that Haley I know our producer bony is clapping his hands for that one as a Patriots fan with the protecting his quarterback up there so we'll see the Patriots do open the season against the Bengals on CBS September 8th let's go over to San Francisco where look the cuts are done the deals have been signed the roster is finalized and yet here we are
