A.J. Brown News
Thursday, June 4, 4:40 PM
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown has had issues with his knees in the past, but the Patriots did their homework before acquiring him from the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday for a first-rounder in 2028 and a fifth-rounder in 2027, and they don't believe it will be something that limits him in 2026, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. The Pats targeted the disgruntled Brown with a vision on maximizing quarterback Drake Maye's rookie contract window over the next couple of years. Brown is known to be fiery, competitive, and outspoken, but New England believes it will be a strength, especially since he's happy and exactly where he wants to be with a head coach that he played for before with the Tennessee Titans to begin his NFL career. The 28-year-old will be the unquestioned No. 1 target for Maye in his new digs, even though the Pats signed Romeo Doubs in free agency. Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, had his sixth 1,000-yard season in 2025 in Philly, but he also had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch. He'll come at a slight discount in fantasy drafts but will remain a high-risk, high-reward low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in a Patriots offense that should offer much more passing-game volume.

Terry McLaurin News
Wednesday, June 10, 9:25 AM
The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala writes that "no one sounds happier" about new offensive coordinator David Blough's scheme than Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin. In his seven seasons in Washington, McLaurin has played for three other offensive coordinators with 13 starting quarterbacks. And in many of those circumstances, there have been plenty of questions as to why McLaurin wasn't involved more. But in Blough's offense, the 30-year-old said he'll "be used all over." "I think the multitude of formations and route combinations is going to give all of us flexibility to move around the formation, keep the defense on their toes, and have a lot of routes that may look similar at the stem but different at the top," McLaurin said last week. The former third-rounder in 2019 out of Ohio State couldn't get off the ground in 2025 due to injuries to both himself and QB Jayden Daniels, and he finished with career lows across the board in catches (38), yards (582), and touchdowns (three) in just 10 starts. Scary Terry could make for a great value pick for fantasy managers in 2026, though, with WR2 upside in a new scheme as he looks to bounce back in his eighth year in the NFL.
