A.J.Brown

News: 2 days agoBrown (hamstring) is not participating in Tuesday's practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Spin: The star wideout is sitting out another practice, though offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo said when the training staff "is ready to cut him loose, he'll be cut loose," which could occur next week. Brown managed to get in two limited practices to begin last week, and the Eagles simply seem to be taking a cautious approach to his recovery. There doesn't seem to be any concern about his availability for Week 1, but expect him to sit out Friday's preseason finale against the Jets.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brown is entering his fourth season with the Eagles after finishing each of his first three no lower than 13th in fantasy PPG. Last season, Brown missed four games and saw a dip in targets (from 9.8 in 2023 to 7.5 in 2024), with the latter a product of the Eagles leading so often. Brown actually posted a career-high 34.6% target share and averaged 3.3 yards per route run (both were second highest among WRs, and he's finished five straight seasons in the top 8 in both categories). Brown was extremely boom/bust, as he posted six top-10 fantasy outings (second most) but was held below 13.5 points in six of his other seven games. The 28-year-old is once again positioned as Jalen Hurts' top target and can be viewed as a fringe WR1.
