A.J.Brown

News: 18 hours agoBrown told Lisa Salters of ESPN on Monday that he expects to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered at Friday's practice.

Spin: Brown is active for Monday's game against the Falcons, and the wideout already appears resigned to missing the Eagles' Week 3 game Sunday in New Orleans, as well. The Eagles haven't confirmed a recovery timeline for Brown, but the team will likely be motivated to err on the side of caution and hold him out until he's no longer at risk of returning prematurely and aggravating the hamstring injury. Assuming he does miss more time, wideouts DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert should be the prime beneficiaries in terms of targets.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brown's second season in Philadelphia statistically mirrored his excellent debut, as he was fifth in receiving yards and provided a cool 17 fantasy points per game, eighth among wide receivers. The way Brown statistically achieved his numbers was a bit disturbing for fantasy managers (and the stumbling Eagles), as he dominated over a six-game stretch early on, averaging 138.5 receiving yards and tallying five touchdowns from Weeks 3 through 8, then reaching 100 yards in just one of the final nine contests. Still, QB Jalen Hurts leads an elite offense, and even with WR DeVonta Smith and new RB Saquon Barkley in the mix, Brown will see ample targets and end zone opportunities. Expect another season as a WR1 option and potential first-round choice.
