Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a game-high eight grabs for 97 yards in Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. He also had a touchdown, pulling in a four-yard throw from Kenny Pickett in the first quarter. Jalen Hurts (concussion) was ruled out early in this one. However, Brown still managed to put together one of his best performances of the 2024-25 campaign. With the 27-year-old finding the end zone in each of his last two games, he remains a must-start against the Cowboys in Week 17, even if Hurts isn't cleared to suit up.

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 match 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 typically 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.
Dec 19, 2024 6:38 PM EST
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.
Dec 18, 2024 6:35 PM EST
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.
Dec 16, 2024 9:49 AM EST
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.
Dec 13, 2024 7:20 PM EST
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.
Dec 8, 2024 5:54 PM EST
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.
Dec 7, 2024 12:49 AM EST
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.
Dec 2, 2024 10:16 AM EST
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.
Nov 30, 2024 9:25 AM EST
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.
Nov 25, 2024 9:25 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. The 27-year-old has had great matchups over the past four weeks, but with the Eagles taking a run-heavy approach, he has failed to find the end zone since Week 7 against the New York Giants. His bad luck could turn around this week, as the Rams allow the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year and fellow receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out. Neither Jahan Dotson nor Johnny Wilson have made a real impact this year when given the chance, so expect Brown and tight end Dallas Goedert to see a heavy target share in a great matchup on paper.
Nov 23, 2024 7:14 AM EST
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.
Nov 15, 2024 10:20 AM EST
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.
Nov 14, 2024 8:20 AM EST
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.
