A.J. Brown News
Tuesday, April 28, 7:18 PM
ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show this week that he thinks the Philadelphia Eagles will receive a first-round pick for wide receiver A.J. Brown from the New England Patriots when the trade "comes together" on June 1. The Eagles have been open to moving Brown after June 1 all along, and the New England Patriots really want Brown, even though they signed Romeo Doubs in free agency in March. Schefter believes the Patriots will end up sending a 2028 first-rounder to Philly, and receiver Kayshon Boutte could be headed to Philly as part of the package. The 28-year-old Brown, who was a second-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2019 out of Mississippi, may have worn out his welcome in Philly in 2025, when he openly complained about his role on offense. Brown still finished with his sixth 1,000-yard season in seven NFL campaigns, but he also had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch and was as up-and-down as a 1,000-yard receiver can be. A move to New England to work with young QB Drake Maye could reinvigorate Brown as he enters his eighth NFL season in 2026. He'd immediately become the Pats' WR1 over Doubs if he were to be traded to New England.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Saturday, April 11, 9:05 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba took another substantial step forward in 2025, catching 119 of his 163 targets for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns. He set new career-highs in all four categories, and he also had the best fantasy finish of his young career, ranking as the overall WR2 in PPR leagues. He and Puka Nacua were neck-and-neck in the race for the WR1 title, with the Rams' receiver ultimately edging out Smith-Njigba by 16.1 fantasy points. Smith-Njigba has certainly lived up to his hype as a former first-round pick, and he has shown that he can produce regardless of which quarterback is throwing him passes. With that said, he'll certainly appreciate the consistency the Seahawks have at the quarterback position for now, with Sam Darnold under contract through 2027. At just 24 years old, Smith-Njigba's youth, productivity, and role in a high-powered offense make him an elite fantasy football option. But is he the best of the best? As it stands, Smith-Njigba ranks #2 among wide receivers in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. He's in the top tier, but he ranks one spot behind Ja'Marr Chase and one spot ahead of Nacua.
