Brown caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-20 tie with the Colts.
Brown lead Houston's tight ends with 46 snaps, but the clear winner of the room from a receiving perspective was the recently added O.J. Howard, who caught two touchdown passes on just 12 snaps. Brown is considered the team's best blocking tight end and should continue to lead in snaps, but Howard or Brevin Jordan (42 snaps) could become key targets in a passing game that lacks established options behind Brandin Cooks.
