Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown still hasn't found the end zone since Week 6, but he did lead the team in receiving yards on Thursday night in the victory over the Washington Commanders. The superstar wideout ended the game with five receptions for 65 yards on eight targets. This was his second-lowest yardage total of the season so far, but he got into double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats. Unfortunately, for the receivers, Saquon Barkley took this game over on the ground. Brown will look ahead to some extra rest before the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders on Thursday night football in Week 11. The 27-year-old has failed to find the end zone since Week 7 but has averaged 92.2 receiving yards per game and has just one game with fewer than 80 yards receiving all year. This matchup is going to determine who ends up as the No. 1 seed in the NFC East heading into Week 12, and the Eagles will be looking Brown's way often to keep the pressure on a Washington defense that has started to turn things around over the past few weeks. The Commanders are a solid matchup, and recently acquired cornerback Marshawn Lattimore will not be making his Washington debut this week. Consider the Eagles star receiver a top-five option in Week 11.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hauled in 5-of-7 targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Brown had receptions of 14, 18, 30, and 44 yards on the day as Philadelphia dismantled a Cooper Rush-led Cowboys squad. It's the third time in six outings this season that the Ole Miss alum has eclipsed the century mark, and he's recorded at least 84 yards in all but one contest. Ho-hum. He led the team in receiving by a wide margin, as no other Eagles pass-catcher notched more than 27 yards. Brown would have likely had an even more significant performance if the game were more competitive, but Philly benched their starters just minutes into the final frame. The team will line up for a second consecutive divisional clash this Thursday when they host the visiting Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old will again be a top-flight WR play.
Nov 10, 2024 9:46 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's divisional battle against the Dallas Cowboys. Brown left last weekend's game early with a knee injury and logged a limited practice session on Wednesday. However, he was then upgraded to full participation on Thursday and remained in the same status on Friday. During Weeks 6 through 8, Brown found the back of the end zone twice and averaged an impressive 96.3 yards and 19.0 PPR points per game during this stretch. Fantasy managers should lock the former Ole Miss product into their lineups as a high-end WR1 this weekend facing a Dallas defense who has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
Nov 8, 2024 5:00 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Brown was considered day-to-day earlier this week after undergoing an MRI exam on Monday following a knee injury in the Week 9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fact that the 27-year-old is back to full practice is a good sign for his availability this Sunday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys unless he suffers a setback. Brown is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's active, but his ceiling could be higher if DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is limited or out this weekend. The three-time Pro Bowler has caught 23 of his 34 targets for 444 yards and three touchdowns in the five games he's played in this year, his third in Philly. The Cowboys secondary has been more vulnerable against opposing wideouts in recent weeks.
Nov 7, 2024 6:20 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is practicing on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's NFC East contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Brown left the Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars early with a knee injury, but hopefully, the team was just taking precautions and he'll be good to go for Week 10. The 27-year-old has averaged 19.95 fantasy points per game in the four contests he started and finished, but he's missed three games with a hamstring injury and half of a game with a knee issue. If Brown is active on Sunday, he remains a must-start in a neutral matchup for wideouts. If he can't play, DeVonta Smith enters must-start territory.
Nov 6, 2024 2:36 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is considered "day-to-day" after undergoing an MRI exam on Monday after he injured his knee in the Week 9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Brown's injury was never expected to be serious, but now the Eagles and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that he won't miss extended time. He could even be ready to roll for a Week 10 divisional showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. We'll know more on the 27-year-old's status for this upcoming Sunday once the team releases practice reports from Wednesday through Friday. If Brown doesn't make enough progress later this week to get the green light to face Dallas, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson and rookie Johnny Wilson would start in three-wide sets for Philly. Brown is a high-end, must-start WR1 in fantasy when he's active.
Nov 4, 2024 7:24 PM EST
Although Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown's knee injury that he suffered in the Week 9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday isn't considered serious, he will undergo an MRI exam later on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury. Brown could miss some practice time later this week as the Eagles play it safe with their star receiver, but it sounds as though he may not have to miss any time. As long as the 27-year-old is cleared later this week, he'll be a must-start for fantasy managers in Week 10 for a divisional showdown against the fading Dallas Cowboys. Brown had two receptions for 36 yards on his four targets on Sunday against Jacksonville before leaving the contest and never returning, but he should bounce back against Dallas this Sunday as long as he's cleared. Check back later for the results of his MRI exam.
Nov 4, 2024 12:18 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a knee injury and didn't return in the second half. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the superstar wideout avoided "anything serious and is expected to be fine." This comes as huge news for both the Eagles and fantasy managers who had to endure three games without him already this year. His status should still be monitored throughout the week to see if he may need to miss a game or not though.
Nov 4, 2024 9:07 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against Jacksonville. The wideout came back to the field with his team to start the second half of the contest. However, he wasn't on the sidelines long before leaving for the locker room. Brown will finish Week 9 with only two catches for 36 yards. As expected, fantasy managers are now wondering if he'll be available in Week 10 for the NFC East meeting with the Cowboys. If he's not, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and Saquon Barkley would presumably get more involved on the receiving end. Dallas Goedert (hamstring) would also likely see more targets, assuming he returns from his stint on the shelf. But if Goedert isn't available versus Dallas, Grant Calcaterra would also be in the mix for more attention from Jalen Hurts.
Nov 3, 2024 6:48 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Jaguars. The wideout was back on the field with his team for the start of the second half. But, it didn't take long before he was shown jogging back to the locker room. It's unknown how or when the injury occurred. But if Brown doesn't return, he'll finish with two receptions for 36 yards, with DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and Grant Calcaterra potentially in line to see more attention from Jalen Hurts for the rest of Week 9.
Nov 3, 2024 6:02 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will take on the 2-6 Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. The 27-year-old tallied 84 yards last week in a blowout win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but was held out of the end zone for the first time in his four games played this season. He has the chance to rectify that this week against a Jacksonville defense that hemorrhages fantasy points to wide receivers, allowing the fifth-most per game to the position. Fellow receiver DeVonta Smith is a great play as well, but Brown should be considered a top-five option at the position in Week 9.
Nov 1, 2024 8:02 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught five of six targets for 84 yards during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. There was more passing this week by the Eagles offense, but it was DeVonta Smith who found the end zone this week on a 45-yard bomb thrown by quarterback Jalen Hurts. Three of the four Eagles' touchdowns Sunday were scored by Hurts on the ground as the offense flexed their run-game muscles inside the red zone. Brown should be in for a better performance next week as he gets to take on a Jacksonville pass defense that is one of the worst in the NFL.
Oct 27, 2024 7:46 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in Week 8. The 27-year-old made his return to the field last week after being out since the regular season opener with a hamstring injury. The Eagles only needed to pass 14 times to beat the New York Giants, but Brown still took five targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. Now, the Eagles face a Bengals offense that struggles to stop the pass. The Bengals have allowed the 11th-most passing yards this season and have the firepower on offense to make the Eagles stay in a passing game script. No fantasy manager is sitting Brown, but this is a week where he could realistically finish as the WR1 overall in a juicy matchup where he will be needed in order to get the Eagles a win.
Oct 25, 2024 8:10 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught all five of his targets for 89 yards and a touchdown during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. The Eagles and Saquon Barkley utterly dominated the New York defense on the ground and only needed to throw 14 times. Brown accounted for half of the completions quarterback Jalen Hurts threw and tallied 78% of the team's total receiving yards. No other receiver on the team had more than 11 receiving yards in this game, and it was not because the Giants' defense was doing well stopping the pass, the Eagles just did not need to throw often. The star receiver gets the chance to torch a Cincinnati secondary that ranks towards the bottom of the league.
Oct 20, 2024 8:30 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 27-year-old returned to the field for the first time since injuring his hamstring in Week 1 last week against the Browns and proceeded to gain 116 yards on six receptions and score a touchdown. It was a complete return to form for Brown and he will look to parlay that success into another big performance against the Giants, who are close to the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to the position. With starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) ruled out, the ball could be force-fed even more to the star receiver this weekend, and he should be considered a must-start in all formats.
Oct 18, 2024 8:49 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught six of nine targets for 116 yards and a touchdown during the team's 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The star receiver made his first start since Week 1 of the regular season and did not disappoint, fighting for the ball in tight coverage and breaking multiple tackles on his way to a solid fantasy performance. His highlight catch came in the second quarter when he caught a 22-yard touchdown in a scrap to maintain procession from the defender. It was a typical A.J. Brown performance against a solid Browns pass defense. The 27-year-old will look ahead to next week when the team goes on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants. Brown will be a top-tier play again in Week 7.
Oct 13, 2024 8:13 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is ready to make his return to the field in Week 6 as the Eagles host the Browns on Sunday. The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury after the season's first game and has been sidelined since. With the early bye week, there was optimism that Brown had enough time to rest and return this weekend, and the Eagles made that official on Friday. DeVonta Smith (concussion) will also be good to go after clearing the concussion protocol this week, giving Philadelphia and quarterback Jalen Hurts their top two receiving options back. Cleveland is giving up nearly 30 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position through five weeks and has been a mess the last three weeks. Fantasy managers can treat Brown as a top-five option in his return to the field this weekend.
Oct 11, 2024 2:42 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) are both on track to return to action in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns after putting in a second straight day with a full practice on Thursday. Brown hasn't played since catching half of his 10 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil, but he's made nice progress coming out of the bye week and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups for a tilt against Cleveland this Sunday in Philly. Smith suffered a concussion in Week 3 and was held out of the Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He, too, should be returned to all fantasy lineups, although he still needs to gain final clearance from the concussion protocol. The return of both Brown and Smith is bad news for tight end Dallas Goedert but is great news for quarterback Jalen Hurts' fantasy value.
Oct 10, 2024 7:06 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was seen at Wednesday's practice, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. This is a great sign, as Brown missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury after injuring his hamstring during a Week 2 practice. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 27-year-old's status throughout the week, but seeing him at practice early in the week is promising. In the season opener, Brown caught five of his ten targets for 119 yards and a score. If Brown can suit up on Sunday, he should be viewed as a high-end WR1 facing the Cleveland Browns.
