Noah Brown Stays Limited Thursday

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.
