A.J. Brown

Brown's two years in Philadelphia have resulted in the two largest receiving yardage totals in franchise history, yet his 2023 ultimately felt like a disappointment on account of so much of the production coming in September/October before the Eagles collapsed down the stretch. He ripped off six straight games with at least 127 yards Weeks 3-8, then had just two TDs and one 100-yard outing the rest of the year despite averaging 9.4 targets Weeks 9-17. The cherry on top was an absence from Philadelphia's playoff loss to Tampa -- his first missed game since 2021 -- due to a knee injury that isn't expected to impact his offseason preparations. Brown called in to a Philadelphia radio station in February to shut down trade rumors (which always seemed dubious) and then signed a three-year extension in April. He'll enter his age-27 season working under newly hired offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who had a rough 2023 for the injury-riddled Chargers and is expected to call the plays in Philadelphia (just as former OC Brian Johnson did). Moore likely will try to keep WR DeVonta Smith more involved after the target gap between him and Brown widened considerably between 2022 and 2023, but that might be at the expense of other players more so than coming out of Brown's slice of the pie. Brown's combination of age, talent and rapport with QB Jalen Hurts would seem to make him one of the safer options among players commonly selected in the late first round or early second round of fantasy drafts.
