2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown finished his first season as a pro with 35 tackles and two interceptions across 15 games with the 49ers. The third-round pick was mainly used on special teams until injuries opened up a starting job at the free safety position. The versatile defensive back ran with the opportunity and finished San Francisco's lengthy playoff run as the starter. With veteran Tashaun Gipson out of the picture, Brown figures to continue starting for the 49ers in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Finishes rookie season as starter
Brown recorded 35 tackles (22 solo) with two interceptions over 15 games with San Francisco in 2023.
ANALYSIS
The third round pick started the season backing up Talanoa Hufanga while being mixed in on certain defensive packages. A combination of strong play and an injury to Hufanga afforded Brown the opportunity to thrive as the starting strong safety for a dominant 49ers defense in the second half of the season. Starting free safety Tashaun Gipson will be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, so Brown has a path to a starting job as a sophomore if the veteran signs with another club.
