Negative signalUsage

Brown's separation struggles (1.5 yards, fourth-worst Week 7) limiting receptions to three per game.

Brown ranked fourth-worst in average separation (1.5 yards) among 61 receivers with minimum 5 targets in Week 7, and seventh-worst in separation last year (min. 45 targets). This ongoing battle to get open is limiting his production; he has three receptions in each of his three games this season, a concerning trend given he only had four games without at least three receptions in 2025 and hasn't taken this long to reach four-plus receptions to start a season since his rookie year. The source notes this is fair cause for concern about his production for the Patriots this year and rest of his tenure in New England.
