A.J. Brown's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) was not seen at practice with the rest of the team on Thursday. Brown went down early in the Week 18 loss to the New York Giants with what looked like a painful knee injury. We haven't really gotten too many specifics on Brown's injury, although it's not considered serious. Still, the 26-year-old will probably need to get back on the practice field to have a shot at suiting up on Monday night in the wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown was one of the best wideouts in fantasy in 2023 with his fourth 1,000-yard season and seven touchdowns on a career-high 106 receptions in 17 games, but he'll have bust potential in DFS if he plays on wild-card weekend and isn't at 100 percent. He's currently the third-most expensive receiver on DraftKings.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) was scheduled to undergo an MRI exam earlier this week, but the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says from his understanding, Brown's knee injury isn't believed to be serious. The 26-year-old went down in the Week 18 loss to the New York Giants with a knee injury and looked to be in significant pain. The Eagles have an extra day this week with their wild-card meeting against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, but Brown's practice status will be worth monitoring later this week for sure. Fellow wideout DeVonta Smith (ankle) missed Week 18, and quarterback Jalen Hurts dislocated a finger on his throwing hand last Sunday, so Philly's best offensive players are heading into the playoff opener with question marks. At a $8,100 DraftKings price tag (third-highest price among receivers), Brown could have bust potential on Monday if he suits up and isn't 100 percent.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the New York Giants. The wideout didn't last long before exiting with a knee injury, so he'll finish with one catch for nine yards. Not many can say for sure how severe the injury is. But it's possible the team could be preserving him for the postseason by holding him out, especially since the Eagles likely aren't going to overcome the massive deficit. At any rate, fantasy managers should expect Brown to appear on the injury report ahead of Philly's first postseason contest. However, he'll likely be out there, contingent on the severity of his ailment.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Giants and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught one pass for nine yards and also lost a fumble. The Eagles are still in contention for an NFC East title and would love to get Brown back, but they still need to be cautious ahead of the playoffs. DeVonta Smith (ankle) is already sidelined, so the Eagles will have to rely on tight end Dallas Goedert, Olamide Zaccheaus, Quez Watkins, and Julio Jones in the passing game.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the New York Giants in Week 18. Fellow receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury that he suffered late in last week's loss to the Cardinals. With little production coming from the likes of Quez Watkins and Julio Jones this season, Brown could be force-fed targets this weekend. Offensive coordinator Brian Johnson already relayed to the press this week that they need to get the 26-year-old more involved, and that should start Sunday with Smith out. Brown gained 80 yards on six receptions back in Week 16 in the two team's first meeting and will aim to clear that line to end the regular season. Consider the fifth-year receiver a top-five option in Week 18.
