Brown earns WR3 role and special teams duties; speed weapon vs. injured Lions safeties.

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.
