A.J. Brown Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 26-year-old has been limited in practice this week with a thigh injury, but there is no indication that he is in any danger of missing the pivotal showdown with the 49ers. Brown was able to find the end zone last week after being held to just one reception in Week 11 against Kansas City. However, he gained only 37 yards on nine targets and was held in check by the Buffalo secondary. Opposing defenses are doing all they can to take Brown out of the equation, but the Eagles' top receiver has a chance to shine this week. The 49ers secondary has had trouble stopping wide receivers this season. They are middle of the pack in points per game allowed to the position but have given up the 12th-most yards and fourth-most receptions. If Brown can shake loose on a reception or two, he could have a massive fantasy performance in a game that should be a relatively high-scoring affair. Consider the Eagles top target a mid-range WR1 in Week 13.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (thigh) and Julio Jones (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. None of Philly's receivers appear to be in serious danger of missing the Week 13 showdown this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, but fantasy managers surely would like to see Brown return to a full practice on Friday and be removed from the final Week 13 injury report. The 26-year-old played 94 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's overtime win over the Buffalo Bills and scored his seventh touchdown of the season. Brown has been a top-five receiver in half-PPR scoring this year and should remain locked into all starting lineups. Jones has just five catches on eight targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in his five games with Philly.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (thigh), DeVonta Smith (knee) and Julio Jones (knee) were all listed as limited participants at Wednesday's practice. All three wideouts should be just fine for the Week 13 showdown against the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, but their statuses bear watching regardless. Even in a tough matchup against one of the NFL's best defenses, Brown and Smith are must-starts each and every week in fantasy lineups in Philly's high-scoring offense. Brown and Smith played 94% and 98% of the offensive snaps, respectively, in Week 12's overtime win over the Buffalo Bills. Jones played a season-high 71% of the snaps Brown ranks as the WR5 on the year in half-PPR scoring, while Smith checks in at WR18 through 12 weeks.
