Marquise Brown Back For Week 16 Or 17?

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) has an appointment with his surgeon in a couple of weeks to gain final clearance, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. If all goes well, he could return by Week 16 or 17, per Rapoport. Brown has been sidelined since suffering an SC joint injury in a preseason game on August 10. He wound up getting surgery in mid-September. We'll continue to keep an eye on his status and Kansas City's plans for him. But Brown would be very tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first game or two back. We'd expect the Chiefs to slowly ramp him up in hopes of having him contribute in the playoffs. Brown is a fine stash if you have a bench spot to play with, but don't consider him a priority add.
