2023 Fantasy Outlook
After recording 24 total tackles, five sacks, two passes defended and one interception across 14 games in 2022, Browning underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus earlier this offseason. The 24-year-old linebacker was placed on the active/PUP list to start training camp, and it remains to be seen if he will be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign. When healthy, Browning will look to provide a boost to the Broncos' linebacker corps. Read Past Outlooks

Browning recorded 25 tackles (19 solo), including 4.5 sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumble over 10 contests during the 2023 campaign.
ANALYSIS
Browning was a key contributor for the Broncos' defense when he was on the field in 2023. Despite missing several contests with a knee injury and a concussion, the 24-year-old linebacker made the most of his opportunities when healthy. Browning is under contract through the 2024 season. He'll play an important role as a playmaker in Denver's defense next season.

Broncos safety Justin Simmons told reporters Saturday that Browning reminds him of Von Miller, noting that Browning "has that bend and he has that athleticism" to be one of the best pass rushers in the league, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Browning made his 2023 debut in Week 7 against the Packers after he spent the offseason recovering from surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus. He showed off his talent in Week 8 against the Chiefs when he recorded four tackles and two sacks, including a strip-sack of Patrick Mahomes late in the second quarter, which teammate Zach Allen said after the game was "an incredible play." Browning will get his next chance to get to the quarterback Monday against Josh Allen and the Bills, a game when Miller will face his former team.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Browning was a five-star recruit out of high school and turned into a solid player at Ohio State, where he played 43 games. He didn't turn into a star, however, making just nine starts. Denver -- who took him 105th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft -- was likely keyed in on Browning due to his athleticism, though. Browning turned in a 4.55-second 40-yard dash at 245 pounds and notched a 40-inch vertical. He has all the tools to develop into an every-down linebacker in the NFL, and going to a team coached by Vic Fangio should help unlock those gifts.
