Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Brown battled through a minor knee injury late in the season and was held out of the Week 18 win over the New York Giants as a precaution so that he'd be ready to roll for the wild-card round of the playoffs. Both Brown and DeVonta Smith, who was also held out in Week 18 due to a minor wrist injury, should be ready for Sunday's playoff contest against the visiting Green Bay Packers. In Weeks 16 and 17, the 27-year-old Brown caught 11 passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns after the Eagles made their lackluster passing attack a point of emphasis. Brown caught five of 10 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in the season opener in the 34-29 win over the Packers and should be considered a high-end WR1 for the rematch with Green Bay this weekend.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had a career day as he brought in ten of his 18 targets for 187 yards and two touchdowns during their overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. This surpassed London's previous career-high of 172 yards he set during Week 14 of the 2023 season. Rookie Michael Penix Jr. leaned heavily on London in this contest as his 18 targets were 11 more than any other Atlanta pass-catcher. London found the end zone at the end of the second quarter on a 20-yard pass. London would score again in the fourth quarter on a 21-yard reception. The former first-round selection enjoyed the best season of his NFL career tallying 1,217 yards and nine total scores. This was the first time he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in his career. London should be viewed as a high-end WR2 heading into the offseason.
