Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will be difficult to recommend for fantasy in his final outing of the regular season against the visiting Washington Commanders. Brown has had a weird year. After an ice-cold start, he's rebounded nicely over the back half of 2025. Across his last seven games, the 28-year-old has notched double-digit targets in five of them, compiling 595 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Unfortunately, head coach Nick Sirianni is on record stating he'd be resting many of the team's key starters for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders. While Sirianni did not specify who would be sitting, it's worth noting that Brown didn't suit up for Week 18 of 2024. If the veteran does wind up playing, he'd be an excellent bet for fantasy. However, with uncertainty surrounding his playing time, it's best that owners look elsewhere for help in the season's final week.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) does not carry an injury designation heading into the weekend. Brown's low-usage Week 15 looks more and more like a fluke, as he caught his stride once again with nine catches for 95 yards on 12 targets against the Commanders last week. His last six weeks have been his best stretch of the season, and fantasy managers that held out through his struggles must be rejoicing. However, as fantasy playoffs come to a close, Brown has the Bills to deal with. Buffalo allows the eighth-fewest fantasy points to WRs this season and has not let an opposing receiver record 100+ yards since Drake London in Week 6. But, with the momentum Brown has had it feels foolish to doubt him now. Temper expectations in terms of yardage, but he should still have high upside in PPR leagues. He's a mid-tier WR2 in Week 17.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Brown missed the first two days of practice this week due to a dental procedure. He was able to practice in full on Friday, which was enough to clear him for Week 17. Brown has been cruising lately, with 95 receiving yards or more in four of his last five games. He'll draw a tough matchup against the Bills' defense this weekend, a unit that has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried, though, and need to keep Brown locked into all starting lineups in a game with shootout potential.
Dec 26, 2025 6:51 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) was spotted at Friday's practice, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Brown has been unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a dental procedure, but seeing him back at practice on Friday puts him back on track to suit up on Sunday. Managers should monitor his status on Friday's final injury report later this afternoon, in case he faces a setback. After averaging just 11.2 PPR points per game over his first eight games of the campaign, the 28-year-old wideout has taken a massive step forward, totaling 19.8 PPR points per game with four touchdowns over his last six contests. If healthy, Brown remains a must-start WR1 in all formats despite facing a tougher Buffalo Bills secondary that has allowed the 10th-fewest PPR points to opposing WRs.
Dec 26, 2025 1:09 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) was estimated to miss Thursday's practice as the Eagles prepare to face the Buffalo Bills. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Brown had his wisdom teeth removed, causing him to miss practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. While missing practice on the first two days of the week could be a concern, given the severity of the issue, it seems likely that Brown will return for Friday's practice and be able to play in Week 17. The star receiver started the season slowly but has turned it on in recent weeks, totaling 35 receptions on 49 targets for 478 yards and four touchdowns. Brown is currently the WR10 in PPR scoring this season and the WR3 over the past five games. While the Buffalo secondary has been strong against wide receivers this season, Brown is a must-start WR assuming he's good to go in Week 17.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice after getting his wisdom teeth pulled, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's not what fantasy managers want to see heading into championship week in most leagues, but we expect Brown to be ready to roll by Sunday on the road in Buffalo against the Bills. The 28-year-old has had an up-and-down 2025 season, but the good news is he's been much more consistent for fantasy managers in the second half. Three of his five 100-yard games have come since the team's bye in Week 9, and Brown has seen double-digit targets from quarterback Jalen Hurts in five of the last six contests. In what could definitely be a shootout in Week 17, Brown will be a top-12 fantasy receiver even though he had teeth pulled this week.
Dec 24, 2025 6:19 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown saw a sizable dip in looks last week, being targeted just twice after reaching double digits in the previous four games. It wasn't a pass-heavy day for the Philly offense, as Jalen Hurts threw the ball just 15 times in a blowout victory. Brown did make up the slack by catching a touchdown-his fourth in the last four weeks. This Saturday, the Eagles travel to Washington where Brown will look to continue his hot back half of the season. The Commanders allow the ninth-most fantasy points to WRs this year, but the main concern is another early Philadelphia lead causes another run-heavy offense. Regardless, Brown has shown consistency lately, and deserves a high-end WR2 nod in Week 16.
Dec 19, 2025 9:47 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has made his voice heard about his frustration in Philly. Brown has been visibly frustrated with the team's inability to get him the ball this season. The organization could decide to move on from the disgruntled wideout this offseason. The 28-year-old is in his prime and could get the Eagles a haul in return. The Eagles have had success, even when Brown isn't heavily involved. Brown saw only two targets during last week's blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he caught them both for 41 yards and a touchdown, his fourth score in the last four games. The Eagles could move Brown and upgrade other areas of their roster with the freed-up salary cap space. It's certainly something the organization needs to at least consider this offseason.
Dec 17, 2025 9:19 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had his third straight game recording 100+ receiving yards last week against the Chargers as his hottest stretch of the season continues. It was also the fourth contest in a row that Brown was targeted at least 10 times. The stud wideout is perfectly set up to keep it rolling as the Raiders visit Philly on Sunday, as Las Vegas allows the third-most fantasy points to WRs this year. The one piece of concern is that in their last three outings, the Raiders have not allowed a receiver to finish with more than 62 yards. However, with Brown in the form he's been in over the last four weeks, managers can't turn away from him now. Although his 2025 has been a rocky road, he's a solid WR2 as fantasy playoffs kick off this week.
Dec 13, 2025 12:36 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hauled in six of his 13 targets for 100 yards in Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Brown has now posted four straight games with double-digit targets and has topped 100 yards in three consecutive outings after having only one double-digit target game and two 100-yard performances over his first nine games. The star wideout could have had an even bigger day, but he just narrowly missed on a few deep throws from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Brown did, however, drop a pass that led to one of four interceptions for Hurts on the night. The Eagles' WR1 still looks like his dominant self when he's targeted, even with the Eagles' collective struggles on offense. He'll continue to profile as a high-end fantasy option in Week 15 in a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Dec 9, 2025 12:41 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had his best performance of the season last week, lighting up the Bears with 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns. His heavy involvement was in large part thanks to Jalen Hurts throwing 34 passes-his third-most in a game this year. Brown will likely have a tougher time this week as Philly visits the Chargers. Los Angeles boasts one of the best pass defenses in the league, giving up just 12 receiving touchdowns this season-tied for the second-fewest in the NFL. They also allow the second-fewest fantasy points to WRs this year. However, Brown has really hit his stride lately, accumulating a mouth-watering 33 targets over his last three outings, which makes it tough to doubt him now. It'll be a challenge, but slot him in as a high-end WR2 in Week 14.
Dec 5, 2025 10:17 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is on a heater. After publicly complaining about his role in what has been a lackluster offense in 2025, Brown has now gone over 100 yards receiving in each of the last two games while scoring three times. In the team's 24-15 loss to the visiting Chicago Bears on Black Friday, the 28-year-old caught a season-high 10 passes on 12 targets (also a season high) for a season-high 132 yards and two touchdowns. Philly's offense didn't look great once again outside of Brown's big game against Chicago. For the time being, he has returned to the WR1 role in Philly over DeVonta Smith, but that could easily change heading into the team's Week 14 tilt on the road on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. Fantasy managers have to like the way things are trending with Brown at the moment, though, as we get closer to the fantasy postseason.
Nov 28, 2025 8:20 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught his fourth touchdown of the season and his first in three weeks last Sunday against the Cowboys, while also setting a season high for receptions (8) and eclipsing 100 yards for the third time this year. Brown has racked up 21 targets over his last two outings, and could be in for another big day this week with DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) possibly being sidelined. Even if his fellow star receiver is out there, Brown looked like the WR1 he's expected to be versus Dallas and should continue this momentum. He'll face the Bears on Friday whose defense allows the 11th-most fantasy points to WRs this season. This may be the start of a late-season surge for Brown, and he should be considered a mid-level WR2 in Week 13.
Nov 27, 2025 1:07 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown delivered a vintage performance in his team's 24-21 Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, hauling in eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. The 28-year-old has spent most of the 2025 season publicly agitated by his role in Philadelphia's underwhelming pass game. However, Brown has now seen double-digit targets in each of the last two weeks. Across 10 games for the season, he's recorded 46 catches for 567 yards and four touchdowns on 75 targets. Brown's increased involvement in recent games could be a sign that he is getting back on the same page with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. While Brown hasn't provided the consistent production fantasy managers were hoping for before the start of the season, he remains a starting fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Nov 23, 2025 9:17 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown led his team in targets by a landslide last week, being thrown to 11 times while the next closest (Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith) had just five looks. Unfortunately, Brown's longest catch was for 12 yards and he totaled a mediocre 49 on the night. His seven catches made it a satisfactory evening for PPR formats, but this outing against the Lions continues Brown's theme of the season-getting plenty of passes but not tons of production to show for it. Luckily, his upcoming game is against a Cowboys defense that allows the third-most fantasy points to WRs this season. It's a prime opportunity to bounce back for Brown after he mustered only one catch in his previous meeting with Dallas. Jalen Hurts clearly still trusts him as a first option, and it's unlikely he'll disappoint twice against such an enticing matchup. Consider Brown a low-end WR2 in Week 12.
Nov 21, 2025 10:15 PM EST
During a 10-minute meeting with Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, wide receiver A.J. Brown vowed that he'll stop complaining about the offense on social media, according to Sal Paolantonio of ESPN. Brown's meeting with Lurie was described as "highly unusual" and occurred during Thursday's practice after security chief Dom DiSandro ushered him to the owner. Brown has made his displeasure known this season, most recently complaining about the state of the Eagles' offense during a live stream on Twitch. While Brown vowed to stop complaining publicly, Lurie told him that he didn't need to apologize for his actions. The receiver explained that he "just wants to be a part of the offense and is frustrated," and the two hugged as the meeting ended. The 28-year-old has been underwhelming with 31 catches, 408 yards, and three touchdowns this season, but his frustration has stopped short of a trade request. In fact, he remains under contract through 2029, though it's possible that Philadelphia could bring his name up in trade talks next offseason. For now, though, he'll remain with the Eagles, looking to bounce back from a 10-week span that saw him rank as the overall WR39 in fantasy football. His first opportunity to get back on track will come on Sunday in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions.
Nov 16, 2025 11:35 AM EST
There appears to be no change in the dynamic between the Philadelphia Eagles and wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is still frustrated about the offense, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Brown is expected to continue making comments critical of the Eagles' offense, with Garafolo noting that many have been loosely directed at quarterback Jalen Hurts. Most recently, Brown expressed displeasure on a live Twitch stream. The prominent receiver did meet with owner Jeffrey Lurie following the Twitch stream, but he did not apologize for his comments. While the relationship between team and player appears messy, Garafolo reports that Brown had similar criticisms of the offense last year, but it didn't stop the team from winning a Super Bowl. It remains to be seen just how far this saga goes and whether it could result in the Eagles trading Brown next offseason, despite having him signed through 2029.
Nov 16, 2025 9:17 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had another frustrating performance against the Packers, with his three targets being the least amount of looks he's gotten in a game since Week 1. The only grace Brown can be granted is that this was his first playing time since Week 7's meeting with the Vikings, so maybe his lower snap count of 77.8% and lack of production can be partially chalked up to injury recovery. Nevertheless, he has not been the stud fantasy player many expected him to be this season. The Green Bay game marked the fourth time in eight games that Brown has finished with less than 30 receiving yards this year. His upcoming contest is against the Lions, who allow the 12th-most fantasy points to WRs this season. He has proven that he still has boom potential, but his bust performances have made him a frightening lineup option. Consider him a low-end WR2 for a primetime face-off on Sunday night.
Nov 14, 2025 10:35 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is off the final injury report ahead of Monday night's primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Brown missed Philadelphia's Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to the hamstring injury, but had the Week 9 bye to rest and practiced in full every day this week. The star wideout posted his best game of the season last time he suited up in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. That marked Brown's first two-touchdown game since Week 8 of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season to date, but could be in for a big second half as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' passing game have gotten rolling. Brown ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR leagues for Monday night against the Packers.
Nov 8, 2025 4:20 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was a full participant at practice on Friday and is expected to play against Green Bay. Brown was sidelined for one game before the team's bye, but just before that he had his best performance of the season with 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. On Monday, he'll return to action at Lambeau Field to challenge a Packers defense that has only allowed one 100-yard game to receivers this year (George Pickens in Week 4). While Brown hasn't necessarily lived up to the hype many had for him before the season, he needs to be in lineups given his last couple of showings. Temper expectations, but play him as a solid WR2 this week.
