NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
The Houston Texans have re-signed wide receiver Noah Brown to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a source. In his first year with the Texans in 2023, Brown put up 33 receptions on 55 targets for a career-high 567 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 10 regular-season games (seven starts). The 28-year-old wideout should be able to do more in a full season of play with impressive young quarterback C.J. Stroud throwing him passes, but Brown will also be behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell on the receiver depth chart. Brown probably won't be a draft target outside of deeper leagues this fall, but he'd be a very popular waiver-wire pickup if Collins or Dell were to miss extended time due to injuries in 2024.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) is being placed on Injured Reserve ahead of the team's Divisional Round game against the Baltimore Ravens or Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old was on the injury report often this season with knee and back injuries, and he suffered a shoulder injury in the Wild Card win over the Cleveland Browns. Although Brown often played second or third-fiddle to Nico Collins and Tank Dell (leg), he delivered two games of over 150 receiving yards in 2023. Overall, Brown accumulated 33 receptions for 567 yards and two touchdowns in his first year as a Texan. He is a free agent this offseason. Moving forward, Collins, Robert Woods, John Metchie III, and Xavier Hutchinson will have to step up at wideout. Tight ends Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan will also be candidates to see more targets.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) has been downgraded to out during Saturday's playoff game against the Cleveland Browns. Brown was forced to exit during the first half of Saturday's game and officially won't return. He'll finish the night with zero receptions on one target. The Texans will now need to lean on fellow wideouts Nico Collins and Robert Woods for the rest of this contest. The team should give a better timetable on Brown's status following the game.
Jan 13, 2024 6:26 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) is currently listed as questionable to return to Saturday's playoff matchup against the Cleveland Browns. This is a tough break for the Texans as Brown suffered a shoulder injury during the first quarter of this contest. The team will obviously further evaluate the severity of the issue before deciding if Brown can return. In the meantime, Nico Collins and Robert Woods figure to have bigger roles in the passing game for the Texans.
Jan 13, 2024 5:00 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) is available for the upcoming Wild-Card matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Brown didn't practice to start the week, but was able to get in a limited session on Thursday. The Texans will be happy to have Brown back in the mix after he sat out in the regular season finale. This season, Brown recorded 33 receptions for 567 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games. He could be worth a look as a possible DFS option for this weekend.
Jan 13, 2024 3:49 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was not seen on the practice field on Wednesday. It's the second straight day of practice that Brown has missed to open wild-card week. Brown also missed the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, so he's going to need to get back on the practice field on Friday to have a shot at facing the Cleveland Browns in Saturday's playoff game. Even if Brown returns to practice on Friday and plays against Cleveland, he'll be a low-upside, low-cost DS option against a Browns defense that is getting healthier for the postseason. In Week 15 against Houston, Brown caught a season-high eight passes for 82 yards and his second touchdown of the year on 11 targets. Houston's receiving corps is beat up heading into the playoffs, with both Brown and Robert Woods (hip) up in the air to play.
Jan 10, 2024 4:04 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was unable to practice all week and has been ruled out for Saturday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts. Fellow wideout Robert Woods (hip) is questionable, so the Texans receiving corps could be extra thin in a must-win game for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Nico Collins should see as many targets as he can handle, especially if Woods is ruled out Saturday evening. Behind Collins, rookie Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III will inevitably see more offensive snaps with Brown being ruled out. Brown had several big games with Stroud impressing in his first NFL season, but overall he was largely inconsistent as a flex play in deeper fantasy leagues. He finishes his first regular season in Houston with 33 receptions for a career-high 567 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games played.
Jan 4, 2024 5:05 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) did not practice on Wednesday, making it two straight DNPs for the veteran. Brown is tending to a back injury that knocked him out of his team's Week 17 win over the Tennessee Titans. His status for Houston's Saturday matchup against the Indianapolis Colts is in jeopardy as he has just one more day to at least get in a limited session. If Brown ultimately isn't able to play it would force more work onto Robert Woods (hip) and perhaps John Metchie III's plates, although Woods is dealing with an injury of his own.
Jan 3, 2024 8:57 PM EST
The Houston Texans listed wide receiver Noah Brown (back, hip, knee) as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate. Brown continues to manage a knee injury that kept him sidelined in Weeks 11 and 12, but he's been playing ever since. Now that the 27-year-old is dealing with new injuries that he picked up in the Week 17 win over the Tennessee Titans, his status could be in danger for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday evening. Since returning from his knee injury in Week 13, Brown has only really had one notable performance -- in Week 15 against the Titans when he had a season-high eight catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. If Brown is unable to get the green-light to play in a must-win game on Saturday, Robert Woods, John Metchie III and rookie Xavier Hutchinson would be in line for some more targets behind Nico Collins.
Jan 2, 2024 7:36 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (hip) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. He had initially been listed as questionable. He finishes Week 17 having turned two targets into one catch for eight yards. With Tank Dell (leg) and Brown both sidelined, Robert Woods and John Metchie III should receive more targets alongside Nico Collins in the Houston offense.
Dec 31, 2023 2:37 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (hip) departed during the first half of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught one pass for eight yards. With Tank Dell (leg) on injured reserve, Brown had earned increased opportunities alongside Nico Collins. Now that the 27-year-old is sidelined, Robert Woods and John Metchie III should receive more targets in the Houston offense.
Dec 31, 2023 2:18 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown dealt with a knee issue this week but is good to go for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Brown practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full on Friday. He will look to repeat his success against this Titans' secondary after catching eight passes for 82 yards and one touchdown in Week 15. Wide receiver Nico Collins was inactive in that game. However, with C.J. Stroud (concussion) back under center, Brown could be a flex play in Week 17.
Dec 30, 2023 2:49 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) stayed limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Brown missed Weeks 11 and 12 due to a knee injury and then failed to catch a pass on seen targets in Weeks 13 and 14. He's been more involved the last two weeks, though, with rookie Tank Dell (leg) done for the rest of the season. Brown has 11 catches on 18 targets for 120 yards and two touchdowns the last two weeks and will see his fantasy value rise heading into Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans now that impressive rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is ready to return following a two-game absence. Against the Titans two weeks ago, Brown had season-highs in catches (eight) and targets (11) while going for 82 yards and his second touchdown of the year. Brown will be in play as a WR3/flex in deeper fantasy leagues.
Dec 28, 2023 10:59 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) was limited on Wednesday with a knee injury as his team began preparing to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Brown has been managing his knee injury for several weeks now, although he has been able to play through it over the past four games. It is likely that the Texans are just managing his reps as they look to preserve him for Sunday's game against the Titans. Stay tuned to Brown's practice participation for the remainder of the week.
Dec 27, 2023 9:50 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown caught three of his seven targets for 38 yards in the team's 36-22 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. This comes after a game in Week 15 where Brown caught eight passes for 82 yards and a touchdown. Brown has been an inconsistent option but has seen a decent target share in wide receiver Tank Dell's (leg) absence. If quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) can play in the team's Week 17 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, fantasy managers can look to start Brown as a WR3/Flex option.
Dec 25, 2023 1:06 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown is good to go and off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Brown started the week on the injury report with a knee issue before practicing in full on Friday. Last week, Brown stepped up as the team's top wideout, catching eight passes for 82 yards and one touchdown. But Nico Collins (calf) could return in Week 16 following limited practices all week. That makes Brown a low-end flex option with Case Keenum under center.
Dec 23, 2023 2:25 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (calf) and Noah Brown (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Collins missed last week's overtime win over the Tennessee Titans but could definitely return to the field this weekend to face the Cleveland Browns if he can put in a full practice on Friday. The 24-year-old has scored six times already in 2023 and has four 100-yard games out of 12 contests, the problem is that all of that production has come with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion), and he's unlikely to play again in Week 16. The Browns are also one of the worst matchups for opposing pass-catchers in terms of fantasy points per week, so Collins is going to be much more volatile in terms of production if he suits up on Sunday. The same goes for Brown if Collins is back.
Dec 21, 2023 11:39 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (calf) and Noah Brown (knee) were limited in Wednesday's practice. A previous report suggested that Collins didn't practice at all, but he was able to get in some limited reps. It's pretty important to note since Collins didn't practice at all last week or play in Sunday's overtime victory over the Tennessee Titans a week after straining his calf. A return to practice on Wednesday will give him a shot to play in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns. However, Collins is unlikely to have rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) throwing him passes, but instead veteran Case Keenum. And in a tough matchup against Cleveland, Collins could be a boom/bust WR3/flex if he's active. His return would also be bad news for Brown's fantasy upside in a shy-away matchup.
Dec 20, 2023 6:10 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown was heavily involved in the team's 19-16 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. Stepping in as the Texans' top wideout on Sunday, Brown did not disappoint. He caught eight passes for 82 yards and one touchdown in the contest. His eight catches and 11 targets were also both career highs for the six-year veteran. It was a nice day for the 27-year-old, who connected with quarterback Case Keenum for a three-yard score late in the game to tie it. If Nico Collins (calf) can't go again next week, Brown could be in for another solid game against the Cleveland Browns.
Dec 17, 2023 10:23 PM EST
Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) is officially active for Week 15 versus the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. While Brown does have fantasy appeal as the Texans' top active receiver, his upside could be limited with Case Keenum starting in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion). He's still a worthwhile option for fantasy managers needing a boost the WR3/FLEX spot this week.
