AFL FANTASY TAKE
Brown averaged 38.6pts from 9 games in 2020, he scored a season high 59pts in Round 2.
The knee swelling is a concern for Brown & Melbourne, he was traded to the Demons in the off-season.
Key forwards do provide volatile scoring, Brown is more suited to short form fantasy in favourable match-ups when healthy & available.
