Fred Brown

The contract is reported to be for multiple years but the terms have yet to be released. Brown was a standout on special teams in 2019, earning 203 snaps while appearing in 13 games. He also made one start at receiver but was waived a week into the 2020 season. Brown will contribute primarily on special teams if he makes the Titans' final roster but could see a few snaps at receiver given how barren the Tennessee receiving room is. 

 A UDFA out of Mississippi State, Brown primarily shined with 203 snaps on special teams, making a single start for Emmanuel Sanders once the veteran was dealt to San Francisco mid-season. He'll likely revert to the team's practice squad assuming he clears waivers.

Following the trade that sent Emmanuel Sanders to San Francisco, Brown saw the field for 46 offensive snaps in Week 8 against Indianapolis. He earned just 28 offensive snaps for the rest of the season as Tim Patrick returned from a hand injury and DaeSean Hamilton had a decent end to the season. Brown was promoted from the practice squad following Week 3 primarily for his special-teams ability. With Courtland Sutton, Patrick and Hamilton all expected to be back next season and Diontae Spencer providing value as a returner, that prowess might not be enough to keep Brown on the roster if the Broncos prioritize receivers in the draft as has been rumored.

The stats won't jump out at you, but Brown actually ended the day as Denver's WR2 in terms of offensive snaps, edging DaeSean Hamilton 46 to 45. Neither target should receive too much action in a woeful Denver offense that seems to be using backs and tight ends to fill the void left by Emmanuel Sanders' departure, but it's telling that Denver gave Brown so much responsibility after activating him from the practice squad just a month ago. Next up is the Browns with Brandon Allen at quarterback replacing the injured Joe Flacco (neck).
