Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Elic Ayomanor

The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly informed teams that they will not be trading wide receiver A.J. Brown, despite recent speculation surrounding his future. Brown has shown frustration in the offense, fueling rumors of a potential move. His frustration is understandable, as he is currently on pace for career lows in yards per game (45.7), touchdowns (1), and fantasy points (9.7). Still, with the Eagles in contention for another championship run, it makes little sense for them to part ways with their top receiving weapon. From a fantasy perspective, Brown has become a riskier week-to-week option, but his elite talent and explosive upside keep him in WR2 territory every week.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is expected to handle an increased workload against the New England Patriots in Week 7 after Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was ruled out for the contest. Ridley missed most of last week's game, too, and Ayomanor benefited, catching three passes for 27 yards on a season-high 93 percent snap share. The catch total was nothing special, but that large snap share indicates that Ayomanor is on the field for almost every play, and that his target share should start to increase as a result. The Patriots have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, leaving Ayomanor in the WR3/flex range.
