2024 Fantasy Outlook
Browning was a solid contributor for Denver when he was on the field in 2023. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old linebacker only appeared in 10 contests due to a knee injury and concussion. Browning enters the 2024 campaign in the final year of his rookie deal, so he'll look to stay healthy and build upon his production thus far in his young career. In his 10 games last season, the Ohio State product proved to be an impact player, totaling 25 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles. Read Past Outlooks
Questionable to return due to neck
Browning suffered a neck injury in Sunday's outing against the Panthers and is questionable to return, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Browning went down with a neck injury in the second half of the game, and he's now at risk of being out for the rest of the matchup. Xavier Thomas will likely hop in at linebacker in his stead.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
After recording 24 total tackles, five sacks, two passes defended and one interception across 14 games in 2022, Browning underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus earlier this offseason. The 24-year-old linebacker was placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, and it remains to be seen if he will be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign. When healthy, Browning will look to provide a boost to the Broncos' linebacker corps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting comparisons to future HOFer
Broncos safety Justin Simmons told reporters Saturday that Browning reminds him of Von Miller, noting that Browning "has that bend and he has that athleticism" to be one of the best pass rushers in the league, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Browning made his 2023 debut in Week 7 against the Packers after he spent the offseason recovering from surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus. He showed off his talent in Week 8 against the Chiefs when he recorded four tackles and two sacks, including a strip-sack of Patrick Mahomes late in the second quarter, which teammate Zach Allen said after the game was "an incredible play." Browning will get his next chance to get to the quarterback Monday against Josh Allen and the Bills, a game when Miller will face his former team.
