A.J. Brown Struggles With Drops in Week 6 Return

Sunday, October 18, 12:34 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) endured a frustrating return to action in Sunday's 26-19 victory over the New York Jets. Playing for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 1, Brown struggled to capitalize on his opportunities despite being involved in the passing game early. The veteran dropped several catchable passes, including an end-zone opportunity, as quarterback Drake Maye threw three touchdowns to Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, and Hunter Henry. Brown's inability to make the most of his chances was especially disappointing considering the Patriots lost Doubs to a shoulder injury in the first quarter. Some rust was understandable after four consecutive missed games, but the performance offered little encouragement to fantasy managers who started him. New England faces the Chicago Bears on Thursday night in Week 7, leaving Brown with a short turnaround to regain his rhythm.

Garrett Wilson News

Garrett Wilson Held in Check While Rookie Teammate Thrives

Sunday, October 18, 6:42 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught four of his six targets for 44 yards during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the New England Patriots. This was just the second time this season that Wilson finished with fewer than 13.0 fantasy points in PPR leagues. His quiet game wasn't necessarily reflective of the Jets' offensive performance as a whole. Instead, he simply wasn't the most productive Jets receiver on Sunday. Wilson ended up being out-produced by rookie Omar Cooper Jr., who caught six passes for 103 yards and one touchdown. There's no question that Wilson is still the top receiver on the depth chart, and he should have no trouble bouncing back as a low-end WR1 against a struggling Miami Dolphins squad in Week 7.
