Remaining with Texans Brown has agreed to a one-year deal with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact The report indicates that the 27-year-old's deal to remain with the team includes $3 million fully guaranteed and could reach up to $4 million with incentives. Brown, who finished last season with 23 catches on 34 targets for 171 yards in 15 games, heads into the 2022 campaign with modest fantasy upside in the context of working in a tight end corps that also includes 2021 fifth-rounder Brevin Jordan.

No targets Week 18 Brown was not targeted in Week 18's 28-25 loss to the Titans.

Impact Brown earned the most playing time of Houston's tight ends in 2021, but it never translated into much worth for fantasy teams. He finished with 23 catches on 34 targets for 171 yards and zero touchdowns. Part of that was due to the shaky nature of the offense, but Brown has profiled more as a blocking tight end during his career. He becomes an unrestricted free agent, and the rebuilding Texans could probably find a less expensive replacement.

Houston's offense sputters after early lead in loss to 49ers

The Houston Texans led by a touchdown early Sunday before being outscored 23-0 the rest of the way as their offense sputtered in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers

Catches lone target Brown caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Brown and rookie Brevin Jordan accounted for the two balls thrown to tight ends Sunday. This was the eighth time in 14 games that Brown's finished with fewer than 10 yards.

Catches two balls in win Brown caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-29 win over the Chargers.

Impact Brown, as is customary, led Houston's tight ends in snaps but had little to show for it. Since a five-target/four-catch/67-yard performance in Week 1, Brown has compiled just 95 yards over the last 12 contests.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leads TEs in snaps Brown caught two of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over Jacksonville.

Impact Brown was once again the Texans' leading tight end in snaps with 45, but for the 12th time in 12 games he did not reach the end zone. After accounting for 67 yards in the season-opening win over the Jaguars, Brown has averaged just 7.7 YPG over 11 games since.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play in Week 15 Brown (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Impact The non-COVID illness that kept Brown from practicing Thursday was evidently minor, as he returned to full participation Friday, paving the way for Brown to suit up come Sunday. He plays the majority of snaps at tight end for the Texans, but Brown's in there for his blocking skills and is rarely thrown to.

Misses practice Thursday Brown (illness) was absent from the Texans' practice Thursday.

Impact Brown -- who didn't catch a pass in Week 14 -- practiced Wednesday before popping up on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in question. The 27-year-old led Houston's tight ends in snaps last week versus the Seahawks with 52, but if he can't go in Week 15, Antony Auclair and Brevin Jordan would likely both play larger roles at the position.

DECEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Untargeted despite snap leader Brown was not targeted in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.

Impact Brown was once again Houston's playing time leader at tight end with 52 snaps, more than Antony Auclair (22) and Brevin Jordan (29) combined, but it did not translate into meaningful fantasy production. The Texans rolled with five tight ends for the game, including former regular Jordan Akins and converted quarterback Jeff Driskel, which makes it hard to pinpoint any single option.

Makes four grabs Brown caught four of five targets for 23 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

Impact Brown led the Texans in receptions and trailed only Brandin Cooks in targets and yards, but he coughed the ball up following a first-quarter catch. Even though he matched his season high in grabs, his miscue Sunday damaged his overall performance. He'll strive to clean his play up next weekend versus the Seahawks.

Targeted once in loss Brown failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Jets.

Impact Brown remains Houston's top tight end because of his run-blocking skills, but he's taken a back seat to rookie Brevin Jordan as a receiver. Jordan caught three passes and a touchdown while playing an equal number of snaps (34) as Brown. The rookie is part of Houston's future, while the 27-year-old Brown is playing out his one-year deal.

Returns to action Brown caught two of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 22-13 win over Tennessee.

Impact Brown missed the previous two games with a thigh injury but was able to get back on the field after Houston's bye in Week 10. His return led to the Texans making fellow veteran Jordan Akins inactive, a sign the organization has pivoted toward the future. Brown, if healthy, should be safe to play the rest of the season, because he's a better blocker than Akins, and developing a running identity has been head coach David Culley's goal all season.

Making return Week 11 Brown (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact After upgrading to full participation in practice Friday, Brown was cleared for a return to the lineup following a two-game, three-week absence on account of the thigh injury. Before being sidelined, Brown had served as the Texans' top tight end, playing more than half of the team's offensive snaps in each of his seven appearances. During that stretch, Brown wasn't much of a contributor in the passing game, cobbling together a 12-114-0 receiving line on 18 targets.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Wednesday Brown (thigh) was listed as a limited participant for the Texans' practice Wednesday.

Impact Brown has missed the Texan's last two games as he's been dealing with a thigh injury he suffered before Week 8. The tight end will look to make his return to the field in Week 11 against the Titans on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missing second consecutive game Brown (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.

Impact Brown will miss a second consecutive game due to the thigh injury, and he was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. Jordan Akins and rookie Brevin Jordan, who found the end zone in his NFL debut last week, will continue to split the workload at tight end with Brown sidelined.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Brown (thigh) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Impact Brown missed the Texans' Week 8 game against the Rams after getting injured in practice. Brown will try to hit the practice field Thursday, but if he can't his Week 9 status against the Dolphins will definitely be in Jeopardy. Should Brown miss Week 9, Jordan Akins and more so Brevin Jordan will step into larger roles.

NOVEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain for Week 9 Brown (thigh) may not play Week 9 against the Dolphins, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Brown sat out Week 8's loss to the Rams after sustaining an injury during the practice week leading up to the game. The injury allowed the Texans to get a look at rookie tight end Brevin Jordan, who made his NFL debut and scored a touchdown.

Texans looking ahead after latest loss extends skid to 7

Houston's skid is up to seven games after Sunday's 38-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday

Out Week 8 Brown (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Brown appears to have picked up the thigh injury during the week of practice; he wasn't included on the Texans' initial Week 8 report before he was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's session and a non-participant Friday. Though he's only been a tertiary option in the Texans' passing attack, Brown's absence will open up more reps at tight end for Jordan Akins, who profiles as more of a receiving threat than the blocking-oriented Brown.
