2026 Fantasy Outlook
Brown was a four-year SEC contributor as both a wideout and kick returner, spending three years at Kentucky before moving up to LSU for his final season. Six of his 65 kickoff returns went for touchdowns, but he added just 12 receiving scores, never topping his freshman-year marks of 628 yards and four TDs. A 4.4 40 at the 2026 Combine didn't help Brown's cause, as there were hopes for an even better time, especially given his thin frame (5-foot-11, 177). He ended up falling to Round 6 in April, becoming the third WR drafted by the Saints (Jordyn Tyson - Round 1, Bryce Lance - Round 4). There's a strong chance the Saints ask Brown to focus on special teams, competing for a role on kick returns even if he's buried on the offensive depth chart. Read Past Outlooks
Bound for New Orleans
The Saints selected Brown in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 190th overall.
ANALYSIS
Brown is a speedster who can take the top off the defense, compiling 53 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown in his senior season at LSU. He's very thin at 5-foot-11, 177 pounds, and he profiles as more of a sprinter than a polished route runner. Brown will likely be asked to add weight and muscle mass to his frame at the next level, and he'll need to clean up drops -- he totaled 21 drops over four seasons in college. One thing working in Brown's favor is his aptitude as a returner, which could help his case for a 53-man roster spot with the Saints. At receiver, Chris Olave and first-round pick Jordyn Tyson top the team's depth chart, and Devaughn Vele has shown pretty well in his first couple of NFL campaigns, but there is room for Brown to find a home and move up the depth chart if he performs well in camp.
