A.J.Brown

News: 2 days agoBrown recorded 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.

Spin: Brown was one of the few bright spots in an Eagles offense that otherwise looked stagnant again. He accounted for both of the team's touchdowns with scores from 33 and four yards away, marking his second consecutive game reaching the end zone. Brown chipped in four additional receptions of at least 15 yards to top the century mark for the second straight matchup. While it's still been a disappointing season overall from Brown, he appears to have overtaken DeVonta Smith as Jalen Hurts' favorite target for the time being.

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.
