Arizona Cardinals
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Now on his sixth team in nine years, Brown is primarily a blocking tight end who's never had more than 23 catches in a season. Brown is not likely to run many routes this season, with Darren Waller and Julian Hill ahead of him on the depth chart. Jonnu Smith was traded to Pittsburgh, but the Dolphins probably will spread the TE targets to other positions before feeding anything significant to Brown. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year, $1.26 million contract with the Cardinals in December of 2025.
Logs seven appearances in 2025

January 18, 2026
Brown reeled in both of his targets for one yard in seven regular-season appearances in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Brown spent the offseason and preseason with the Dolphins before getting released during roster cut downs in late August. He then joined the Cardinals in mid-October after TEs Tip Reiman (ankle) and Travis Vokolek (neck) landed on injured reserve. Arizona used its three elevations on him before he was signed to the active roster for good in early December, but he remained well behind Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Josiah Deguara in the pecking order for offensive snaps. Brown is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so it remains to be seen where he'll be plying his wares in 2026.

Brown is a journeyman who has played 72 games for four different NFL teams. The 30-year-old is coming off the best year of his career with 13 receptions for 208 yards and a touchdown with the Patriots, and now he'll vie for the No. 2 tight end role in Seattle behind Noah Fan with rookie fourth-rounder AJ Barner.
Over the course of 16 games (three with the Texans and 13 with the Browns) last season, the 29-year-old combined for 12 catches for 117 yards. Now that he's with the Colts, Brown is competing for depth slotting in a crowded tight end corps that also includes Jelani Woods, Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory.
Brown returns for another season with the Texans after recording 23 catches on 34 targets for 171 yards in 2021, setting career highs in all three categories. His blocking ability gets him on the field and creates chances as a receiver. However, if the Texans are going to involve a tight end in the passing offense, the primary target figures to be Brevin Jordan. The second-year tight end, who was a healthy scratch for the first half of his rookie 2021 season, was granted a healthy dose of playing time following the bye week and became a red-zone target while catching three touchdowns over nine games.
Brown made the 53-man roster out of training camp in 2019 and spent the entire season there. He was among several tight ends to benefit from David Njoku's wrist injury, but he was the least targeted of the bunch. Once Njoku returned, Brown became a healthy scratch from Week 12 on. There's a crowd at tight end, and Brown is at best fourth on the depth chart.
Brown started the 2018 season on the Browns' practice squad before getting promoted to their active roster about halfway through the year. He ultimately landed on the IR with a shoulder injury. He finds himself once again competing for a spot on Cleveland's 53-man roster, and will need to make an impression at camp in order to earn a role with the team.
