Hard to believe he's averaging less than 12 ypr for his career. I think he's still fast, maybe Mahomes can lead him to a career year. Or maybe he'll be a highly paid decoy.

Sounds like a good excuse to trade Hollywood.Own Rice and Hollywood. Rice with over 100 receptions.

In terms of rookie picks in a 1 QB league, would you rather have a late 1st (Worthy, Brooks, Benson, Mitchell) or Brown? It would certainly be nice to reset the clock on one of the young guys and Hollywood is only on a one-year deal. But you have to like the situation and potential for a long-term deal after this season.Sounds like a good excuse to trade Hollywood.Own Rice and Hollywood. Rice with over 100 receptions.

Late first but that’s a fair price for a contender. Hollywood isn’t old yetIn terms of rookie picks in a 1 QB league, would you rather have a late 1st (Worthy, Brooks, Benson, Mitchell) or Brown?

Juju was already heading downhill when he hit KC and was basically a big slot. MVS just wasn’t good. Brown way more talented than either of those guys. Great signing for the hated Chiefs IMO.
As far as FF, hard to say, but him being a #2 type WR isn’t out of the question. Kelce is another year older and Rice had basically zero competition from WRs for targets last year once KC figured out he was hands down their best WR.

As a Mahomes shareholder I’m happy they have a legit deep threat again. That offense was concerning me. Hopefully they’re not done.
Marquise Brown has reached 20+ mph on 33 routes since 2020, 2nd-most in the NFL behind former Chief Tyreek Hill.Brown will look to add speed to a Kansas City wide receiver room that reached 20+ mph on a route just 5 times last season, 6th-fewest in the NFL.

Must be trying to trade him
He is indeed still fast, but from their own info-graphic, MVS was #4 at 28 routes. So their assertion that KC was the #6 worst last year is odd. MVS must have lost a lot of his speed as he's gotten older.
Tyreek had the #1 at 73 routes
, more than twice Brown as the #2 guy. Cheetah is just in a class unto himself.I don't think it's odd, I think you answered the why with your next line.
It certainly makes sense (Father time is undefeated), but I'm not convinced this "stat" tells us anything useful considering its an aggregate from the last 4 seasons. If they had given us more recent numbers it might be a better judge of if they are actually upgrading or not. Brown's time in Arizona was plagued with injuries, so I wouldn't be surprised that the bulk of these recorded for him were from 4 years ago. He's never made the top 20 in recorded speeds while MVS had the #2 back in 2021 (Tyreek is a regular on the list every year.)
I think the most important thing is Brown doesn't have stone hands like MVS did. Hopefully that means he will be much more successful trying to replace Tyreek than MVS was. As a Mahomes fantasy owner, I sure hope so.

Brown getting 1 year $7m (up to $11m) seems like not a good sign. Kinda feels like a Will Fuller last hurrah in Miami thing (albeit a much better situation than Flores led dolphins). If I can get any 1st I'm selling, but probably holding otherwise in case he does blow up. But him having not much value after this season seems like a distinct possibility.

Yes so many focused on how great the landing spot is when the contract might be the canary

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown was a gold mine of a find. The perfect weapon for Patrick Mahomes and the #Chiefs.
