Brown is expected to start at tight end against the Ravens on Thursday with Ryan Griffin (ankle) ruled out, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown played 87 percent of snaps on offense during Week 14's win over the Dolphins, during which Griffin left the field early in the first quarter. The James Madison product doesn't offer much upside as a pass catcher, but he could nonetheless warrant fantasy consideration in leagues that start multiple tight ends due to his expected opportunity.

Brown caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Brown and rookie Trevon Wesco were the only healthy tight ends remaining after Ryan Griffin exited early on due to an ankle injury. Even if Griffin is forced to miss time beyond this game, Brown doesn't have enough receiving ability to warrant fantasy consideration.

Brown caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Brown (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of Brown's injury remains unknown at this time, but it's a positive sign that he wasn't held out of practice entirely. The veteran tight end does most of his damage as a blocker and special teams asset.

Brown caught one of two targets for eight yards in Thursday's 22-10 win over Atlanta in Week 2 of preseason.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's catch came on a second-half pass thrown by third-stringer Davis Webb, suggesting Brown remains little more than a depth option at the tight end position. Rookie Trevon Wesco had a touchdown called back on a penalty in this one and currently represents Brown's biggest competition for the No. 3 tight end spot behind Chris Herndon and Ryan Griffin.
