Jalen Hurts notes that speed changes the defense even when the ball doesn't come his way, and expresses desire to see more of him, suggesting his presence and route-running effort warrant increased usage despite limited Week 2 touches.

Brown, a first-round pick in 2019, had a vastly different debut than Lemon: 4 catches for 147 yards and 2 touchdowns in his NFL debut, which remains his career-high in yards through eight NFL seasons. Brown also experienced a negative-yardage game as a rookie (Week 14) and came from a Lincoln Riley offense, giving him perspective to mentor Lemon.

Brown was a healthy scratch (DNP-CD) in the Eagles' Week 1 opener despite signing a one-year, $5 million contract in March and having a good training camp.

Matthew Berry cites Brown as a cautionary tale about target share volatility: Brown saw a ridiculous 42% target share and caught 10 passes, finishing as WR9 in Week 1 2025, but over his next 15 games averaged a 12% target share and had only two more games with over 50 receiving yards. The lesson: elite Week 1 target share does not predict sustained opportunity.
