The Arizona Cardinals reportedly will have a key piece of their offense active on Sunday, as Marquise Brown is expected to play against the San Francisco 49ers despite a thumb injury. 

This is a great sign for Arizona, who would love to pull off another upset this week after beating the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3.  

Marquise Brown injury status for Week 4 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Hollywood Brown is listed as questionable, but he’s expected to play barring a setback in pre-game warm ups.

Best Marquise Brown prop bet for Week 4 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Marquise Brown OVER 45.5 receiving yards

The 49ers have one of the best defenses in the NFL, but I think Brown is a little undervalued in this prop, especially since the Cardinals are likely going to be playing from behind. 

Brown has cleared this number in back-to-back games, and he’s caught a touchdown in each as well. 

A deep-ball threat, Brown could end up clearing this with just one catch. I love him to hit the OVER on Sunday.
