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

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Brown picked up the injury during practice ahead of the Eagles' Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He has previously stated that the injury would likely cost him "a couple of weeks". As such, the lack of practice activity comes as no surprise. Unless Brown can ramp up his activity later in the week, it would appear that he is in line to miss his second game in a row. Hopefully, Brown's injury does not drag out too long. He was his usual self in Week 1 on his way to five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy managers will be eager to get that kind of production back.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) told ESPN's Lisa Salters that he expects to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury that he suffered in practice last Friday. Brown was ruled out of the Monday night contest against the visiting Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 and could also end up missing the Week 3 showdown in New Orleans against the 2-0 Saints. With Brown out, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson will be Philly's top two receivers, with tight ends Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra also seeing more targets from quarterback Jalen Hurts in the passing game. We'll have a better idea of Brown's status for Week 3 when the Eagles return to practice on Wednesday, but fantasy managers should already be looking for a replacement. Browns is a must-start, high-end WR1 when healthy. He caught five of 10 targets for 119 yards and a TD in the Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday Night Football versus the Atlanta Falcons. He had already been trending in the wrong direction after missing practice on Saturday, and now we get confirmation that he won't suit up on primetime television. Fantasy managers will appreciate the timing of this announcement as it gives them roughly one hour to find a replacement for Brown in their lineups before the Sunday 1 p.m. games kick off. The Eagles will move forward with DeVonta Smith as their No. 1 receiver on Monday with additional opportunities for Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert.Jahan Dotson should get more looks, too, but he's not a dependable option for fantasy lineups in leagues with 14 teams or fewer.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable heading into the Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This news came suddenly after Brown's hamstring tightened up on him during Friday's practice. As a result, Brown was placed on the injury report and considered questionable due to the fact it was so late in the week. However, it sounds like Brown's status is a legitimate question heading into this matchup. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Eagles take this down to the wire, which is frustrating for fantasy managers. His absence would mean an increased workload for DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley. Possibly, Jahan Dotson gets into the mix, but remains a risky fantasy option even if Brown sits out.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's clash with the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old popped up on the injury report on Friday because of hamstring tightness. As a result, he practiced in a limited fashion. However, the concern about Brown's availability for Monday night grew after he didn't participate in Saturday's session. Fantasy managers should begin preparing immediately, especially since there is a good chance the wideout won't be out there. The safest approach would be to add Jahan Dotson off waivers, where available. If successful, fantasy managers can make an immediate lineup swap if Brown is officially ruled out. But if Dotson has been claimed, it may be best to keep Brown out of the starting lineup altogether, considering the Eagles play on Monday night, well after all of the Week 2 contests have concluded. With that said, DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, and Dallas Goedert will remain Jalen Hurts' primary receiving options if Brown isn't healthy enough to get on the field against Atlanta.
