A.J. Brown Set Up For Massive Performance In Week 8
5 months agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in Week 8. The 27-year-old made his return to the field last week after being out since the regular season opener with a hamstring injury. The Eagles only needed to pass 14 times to beat the New York Giants, but Brown still took five targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. Now, the Eagles face a Bengals offense that struggles to stop the pass. The Bengals have allowed the 11th-most passing yards this season and have the firepower on offense to make the Eagles stay in a passing game script. No fantasy manager is sitting Brown, but this is a week where he could realistically finish as the WR1 overall in a juicy matchup where he will be needed in order to get the Eagles a win.

A.J. Brown Good To Go, Looking To Make Noise In NFC Championship
2 months agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, illness, rest) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report. He will play on Sunday in the NFC Championship against the division-rival Washington Commanders and will be hoping to do some damage after barely being heard from in the first two postseason games. Even though the 27-year-old has just three catches on 10 targets for 24 yards and no touchdowns in playoff wins against the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams, Brown will have some of the most upside on Championship weekend at the receiver position. In the last meeting against the Commanders on Dec. 22, he had eight catches for 97 yards and a score on a season-high 15 targets. And in the first meeting on Nov. 14, he caught five of eight targets for 65 yards. Brown has high-end WR1 upside for DFS lineups.

A.J. Brown A Full Participant On Thursday
2 months agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, illness, rest) upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice session after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. In addition to a knee injury that he's been nursing since late in the regular season, Brown has been a bit under the weather this week, but a return to a full practice on Thursday means he should be just fine to play on Sunday in the NFC Championship game against the division-rival Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old pass-catcher continues to play nearly all of Philly's offensive snaps on game days, but he's caught only three passes for 24 yards in two playoff wins over the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams the last two weeks. Fantasy managers brave enough to take the chance on Brown in DFS lineups this weekend will be leaning on the fact he caught 13 passes (23 targets) for 162 yards and a TD in two games against the Commanders earlier this year.
