A.J. Brown Off The Injury Report, A Must-Start In Fantasy Lineups
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Washington Commanders. Brown opened the week as a non-participant and then logged two limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. However, this injury seems rather minor, as Brown is already off the injury report. Last weekend, Brown enjoyed a nice performance, catching eight of his 11 targets for 110 yards and a score. Since Week 6, the top wideout has averaged a solid 15.8 PPR points per game with 82.7 yards per game. With Brown expected to see his typical workload, he should be viewed as a must-start WR1 despite facing a Washington secondary that recently welcomed back Marshon Lattimore.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, rest) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Brown was rested on Wednesday, but his knee injury wasn't listed. It's a reminder that Brown tweaked his knee during a tackle in the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. It's something to keep an eye on, but it's an issue that shouldn't compromise his availability for the Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. We'd be surprised if Brown wasn't available to play this weekend. The 27-year-old reportedly hasn't been happy with the Eagles' lack of a passing attack this year, so naturally Philly fed him the ball last Sunday. Brown had season-highs of catches (eight) and targets (11) while going for 110 yards and a score. Look for the Eagles to continue feeding him this Sunday, giving him WR1 upside in fantasy.
A.J. Brown Rested On Wednesday, Not Listed With Injury
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was rested during Wednesday's practice and wasn't listed with an injury designation on the first report of Week 16. It's a good sign for Brown after he got up slow after a tackle late in the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles greased the squeaky wheel with Brown and the passing attack last weekend, with Brown catching a season-high eight passes on 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown. Look for the Eagles to try and continue to keep their passing onslaught going this weekend against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. If the Eagles continue to feed Brown the ball through the air, he'll have a good chance to improve on his five catches for 65 yards that he had in the first meeting against Washington on Nov. 14. Brown will be active in Week 16 and will have clear WR1 upside. Start him.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the team's 27-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown delivered a strong showing after a week of headlines criticizing Philadelphia's passing attack, leading to his season-best eight catches and fifth 100-yard outing in 11 games. Brown's performance was highlighted by multiple chunk plays, including receptions of 21, 20, 19, and 17 yards, showcasing his ability to stretch the field. He capped his productive day with a five-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter, helping set the tone for the Eagles' offense. Heading into Week 16, Brown remains a reliable WR1 option for fantasy managers as Philadelphia prepares to take on the Washington Commanders on the road.
A.J. Brown Eyes Bounce-Back As Volatile WR1 Vs. Steelers
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will aim to rebound as the team hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. Brown has scored only once in his last seven games, and his involvement has taken a back seat to the dominant rushing attack led by Saquon Barkley. Last week against the Panthers, Brown managed just 43 yards on four targets and was held out of the end zone. The Steelers' defense has been somewhat forgiving through the air, allowing 218.6 passing yards per game. However, Pittsburgh's secondary has also been opportunistic, recording 15 interceptions this season. Brown remains a turbulent WR1 due to his limited target volume but undeniable talent. Fantasy managers should cautiously expect a better performance, especially if the Eagles need to lean on their passing game.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught all four targets for 43 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers. The wideout had another underwhelming performance in Week 14. But it's hard for anyone to get consistent action, considering Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts are heavily involved as runners. With that in mind, Brown has only four 100-yard receiving performances during the 2024-25 campaign. Still, he likely has another potent fantasy showing up his sleeve before the postseason, so he's always a starting fantasy option, including in the challenging Week 15 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hasn't looked like the version fantasy managers saw over the last few seasons. Without question, the presence of Saquon Barkley has been a big reason. But to be fair, in nine games this season, the wideout has fewer than five receptions just once while surpassing the 100-yard receiving mark four times. While Brown has only one touchdown since scoring in each of his first three games, he has an excellent chance to get back into the end zone in Week 14 versus the Panthers, with the Carolina defense allowing a league-worst 30.5 points per contest during the 2024-25 campaign.
A.J. Brown Leads Eagles In Receiving Against Ravens
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was the lead receiver again during the 24-19 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The superstar wideout finished the game with five receptions for 66 yards on six targets. The passing game was expected to have a big day since the Ravens have one of the worst pass-defense units in the league, but the Eagles only accrued 118 yards. Brown will instead look to find the end zone in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers.
A.J. Brown In Great Position To Explode Against Ravens
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is continuing to trend upward ahead of Sunday's Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The stars appear to be aligning for a big fantasy showing from Brown, who totaled six catches, 109 yards, one touchdown, and 22.9 fantasy points (PPR) last Sunday night. This week, he faces the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the second-most catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, as well as the single-most fantasy points. Furthermore, Brown could have less competition for opportunities if teammate DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is sidelined. Of course, even if Smith does play, Brown's track record and juicy matchup vault him to the high-end WR1 range on Sunday afternoon. Managers should start him with confidence in all leagues.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught six of seven targets for 109 yards and a touchdown during the team's 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old hit paydirt for the first time since Week 7 and snapped his fantasy cold streak of four weeks with a great performance in a game where the Eagles dominated. Saquon Barkley was the top headline maker in this game, but Brown deserves a ton of credit for how his presence is enough to throw off a defense and make stopping both him and Barkley near impossible. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did miss this game and may miss next week as well, leaving Brown with a juicy matchup against the Ravens.
