A.J.Brown

News: 2 days agoThere was no "private meeting" between Brown, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley as initially reported elsewhere, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Instead, Brown saw Hurts and Barkley talking in the parking lot and walked over to join them.

Spin: This comes with the territory for a big market team that's the defending Super Bowl champs, but the drama surrounding the Eagles' key offensive players has been exhausting. However, it's prudent to remember how the Eagles' offense was also off-kilter at this point in the season last year, too.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brown is entering his fourth season with the Eagles after finishing each of his first three no lower than 13th in fantasy PPG. Last season, Brown missed four games and saw a dip in targets (from 9.8 in 2023 to 7.5 in 2024), with the latter a product of the Eagles leading so often. Brown actually posted a career-high 34.6% target share and averaged 3.3 yards per route run (both were second highest among WRs, and he's finished five straight seasons in the top 8 in both categories). Brown was extremely boom/bust, as he posted six top-10 fantasy outings (second most) but was held below 13.5 points in six of his other seven games. The 28-year-old is once again positioned as Jalen Hurts' top target and can be viewed as a fringe WR1.
