“We said” is the projection as it was published that week, stored before the game, with the miss beside it. Re-running today’s model on a past week would grade a model that did not exist when the number went out, so those weeks show a dash instead.

Barion Brown 2026 stats

Through 5 games of 2026, Barion Brown has 1 catches for 5 receiving yards (0.2 catches and 1.0 yards a game), on 10% of snaps.

His first season in the warehouse, so there is no prior year to compare against and no career arc to draw — the projection leans on the league's rookies rather than on him.
