A.J. Brown Fantasy

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown had a superb regular season, one that may result in a Rookie of the Year nod. However, he has caught just two of four targets for a mere 13 scoreless yards in the Titans' two playoff games as running back Derrick Henry has siphoned all of the fantasy juice for this offense during their stunning playoff run. Brown will likely fall victim to the gameplan once again, as the Chiefs Defense is ranked sixth in pass DVOA and allow the third-least fantasy points to receivers while ranking 29th in rush DVOA. The Titans are 7.5-point underdogs, so the volume has a chance to come up a bit if they're trailing and Brown would be the preferred target in that scenario. He's not a cash game option in DFS, but there's definitely merit to chasing his upside for tournaments.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown has enjoyed a breakout rookie season, but will likely be a secondary option on Saturday after the Titans only threw 15 passes in last week's win over the Patriots. In order for Brown to have fantasy value, the Titans will need to be trailing by enough to abandon the run. If that does happen, the Ravens secondary can be beat, ranking 11th in the league in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers since Week 10. Brown received over 36% of the team's targets in two of the last three games of the season and has a size advantage over the Ravens cornerbacks. He can win with strength or in the end zone, but he's not likely to see a lot of opportunities if the Titans stick to their game plan, so he's a risky fantasy proposition.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown draws a tough wild-card matchup against the New England Patriots on Saturday. The breakout rookie finished his debut season with 52 catches for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns. Brown draws a difficult matchup against a New England secondary that ranked sixth in the league in pass defense DVOA during the regular season. Brown remains an intriguing tournament option in DFS contests thanks to the explosive nature of his game, but he is not a recommended option in cash games.
