Returning ahead of schedule
Contrary to a previous report, Brown (heel) will play in Round 17 versus Port Adelaide, Riley Beverdige of AFL.com.au reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was expected to be out this week, but his heel injury has clearly improved faster than expected. The forward has only drawn into two matches this season, but he's averaged just 38.5 fantasy points across those appearances, which both came in May.

Won't feature in Round 17
Brown (heel) won't play in Round 17 against Port Adelaide, the team announced.
ANALYSIS
Brown's heel injury is only expected to sideline him for one-to-two weeks, so there's a chance he could return towards the end of the month. As things stand now, it's best to treat him as questionable ahead of Round 18 with an eye towards a full return in Round 19.

To play in VFL
Brown (knee) is expected to play in the VFL this weekend, according to Performance Manager Darren Burgess.
ANALYSIS
Brown may not return to the AFL side immediately, but he's not far away from getting back to full fitness. He'll need to improve in 2021 to be worth attention for fantasy.
