A.J.Brown

News: 2 days agoBrown brought in five of 10 targets for 56 yards in the Eagles' 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Monday night.

Spin: The star receiver tied DeVonta Smith for the team lead in receptions while pacing the Eagles in receiving yards and targets, but his numbers were naturally considered a disappointment overall. Brown also was the intended receiver on Jalen Hurts' downfield heave with 13 seconds remaining that culminated in Julian Love's game-sealing interception. Brown does have at least five catches in four consecutive games following his one-reception, eight-yard outlier against the Chiefs in Week 11, but he has just one touchdown reception in the last five contests overall. The fifth-year pro could have a good chance to bounce back against the Giants in a Week 16 home matchup on Christmas Day.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brown was traded to the Eagles during the 2022 draft and his first season with the team could not have gone much better. The former Titan posted career-high marks in target share (28%), targets, receptions, receiving yards, end zone targets (11) and fantasy points. He also matched a career-high with 11 TDs, which ranked second among WRs. Brown has always been a target monster (top 8 in target share each of the last three seasons) and continues to post elite efficiency (he ranked no lower than fourth among WRs in yards per target, YPRR and RAC last season). The 26-year-old is sharing No. 1 WR duties with DeVonta Smith, but the Eagles' offense can certainly support two top-10 fantasy receivers again this season.
