Is Marquise Brown Playing Tonight?
Yes, Marquise Brown is playing tonight for the Kansas City Chiefs, but his production has been nearly nonexistent through Week 8. The Chiefs' wide receiver entered the night fully active without any injury designation, yet he’s struggled to make an impact early in the matchup. Brown was targeted once in the first half but has yet to record a catch against Kansas City. BLEEDEM, posting on X via @stefanskifan, expressed frustration, saying, "It’s always one player who doesn’t even get a catch, and Vegas called about Marquise Brown."
Latest Injury Update
Brown is not listed on the Chiefs’ official Week 8 injury report, which means his health is not an issue. This isn’t about a physical setback; it’s about opportunity. The Kansas City Chiefs went from not having much help at wide receiver early in the season due to a suspension and injury to having an embarrassment of riches, which includes Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. CLT Capper, posting on X via @CLTcapper, shared a betting pick: Marquise Brown over 23.5 receiving yards (-110) on @PlayProphetX.
With Rashee Rice now back in action and rookie Xavier Worthy fully healthy, Brown has seen a dip in targets. Through the second quarter, he had one target and zero receptions. Late into the fourth quarter, his stat line remained unchanged. Head coach Andy Reid hasn’t indicated any injury or snap limitation for Brown, suggesting this is purely a rotational and usage matter.
Fantasy Football Impact
Fantasy managers who started Brown will be disappointed. Despite being healthy, he’s been almost invisible on the field. Until he finds chemistry again with Patrick Mahomes, Brown is a shaky flex option in deeper leagues, while Rice’s target share continues to rise.
