Barion Brown is slotted into the WR3 spot for Week 1 against Detroit due to Jordyn Tyson's injury and Brown's impressive offseason performance. Beyond offense, Brown will serve as the punt and kick returner, giving him a chance to significantly help the Saints on special teams. The source highlights Brown's speed as a weapon to beat Detroit deep, especially with the Lions missing both starting safeties due to injury. Brown brings flexibility to the WR group and his presence allows Kellen Moore to potentially get a big play early.

Barion Brown is set to be WR3 for the New Orleans Saints after an extremely impressive training camp and preseason. The Jordyn Tyson injury opened up the opportunity, but Brown could have easily been WR4 or WR5 based on his performance alone.

In the Saints' last preseason game, Brown was heavily utilized and scored his first NFL touchdown on a handoff to the wide receiver. Moving forward, Brown is set to be a major contributor on the Saints' offense and special teams.
