Antonio Brown will debut for Pats

A league suddenly stacked with wide-receiving Browns (John! Hollywood! A.J.! Odell Beckham!) will have another one this week, as ANTONIO BROWN will make his first appearance in a Patriots uniform at Miami. No one can be certain of the nature or extent of his role, of course -- asked to comment, Bill Belichick told Fantasy Index that he expected Brown to be "one of our players this week" -- and Brown's status beyond Sunday is very much up in the air as well, as the NFL will reportedly meet on Monday with the woman who has accused him of sexual assault. The only football-related hints we have are that Brown has been staying late at the team facility this week to study the offense and catch passes from backup QB Jarrett Stidham. There are probably a handful of plays designed to get the ball into Brown's hands against the Dolphins. We wouldn't expect to see him for anything like a full game's worth of snaps.
