New Receiver Addition Doesn't End Patriots Interest in A.J. Brown

Tuesday, March 10, 2:14 PM

Updating a previous report, the New England Patriots' free-agent signing of wide receiver Romeo Doubs on Tuesday "does not end their interest in trading" for Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, according to the NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. The Patriots aren't in as much of a rush now for a pass-catcher, and it might mean they don't end up acquiring him because of the Eagles' high asking price, but Wolfe says that they "still love" Brown. The Patriots signed Doubs to a four-year, $80 million contract, but they might not be fully sold on his ability to replace veteran Stefon Diggs as the WR1 for quarterback Drake Maye in 2026. The problem is that Philly doesn't have to trade Brown, and they certainly aren't going to give out a discount for a 28-year-old who has six 1,000-yard seasons in his seven years in the league. The three-time Pro Bowler would certainly have a more optimistic fantasy outlook if he were to join New England after he had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in 2025.

Jauan Jennings Could See Increased Role if He Re-Signs in San Francisco

Friday, February 13, 7:58 AM

Across 15 games in 2025, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings recorded 55 receptions for 643 yards and nine touchdowns on 90 targets. With 49ers wideout Brandon Aiyuk (knee) sidelined for the entirety of 2025 by a knee injury, Jennings emerged as the team's WR1. The 28-year-old is now set to hit unrestricted free agency, but 49ers' general manager John Lynch recently expressed public interest in signing Jennings to a new contract. If Jennings does indeed re-sign with San Francisco, he could see an even greater role in the team's passing game in 2026. San Francisco lost star tight end George Kittle (Achilles) to a torn Achilles in the NFC Wild Card Round in early January, which means Kittle could miss a sizable chunk of the 2026 season. Additionally, 49ers WR2 Ricky Pearsall has had major difficulty staying on the field to this point in his NFL career, playing in just 20 games across his first two professional seasons. Jennings may not carry elite fantasy upside, but he's solidified himself as a reliable producer over the last two seasons in San Francisco.
