Philadelphia Eagles wideout A.J. Brown began the season with a strong Week 1 performance against the Green Bay Packers. He racked up five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown, highlighted by one of his long catch-and-run splash plays.

A.J. Brown Injury Update
A.J. Brown Fantasy Football Outlook
If A.J. Brown does return this week, this is excellent news for the Eagles, as they are expected to have both Brown and DeVonta Smith fully healthy coming out of their bye week.
Having their top two receivers back on the field will significantly enhance the team's offensive capabilities, allowing quarterback Jalen Hurts to have his primary targets again available.
Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start the pro-bowler, as Brown has proven to provide WR1 numbers each week he is available. They should continue to monitor his practice status throughout the week but should start to feel excited about his possible return.
