A.J. Brown Rest-of-Season Outlook
Target-heavy depth WR on the sideline for now
On injured reserve, ankle.
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR11 last season at 14.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 1 game he's WR121 at 5.6 PPR points per game, against 14.7 over 15 games last season (WR11). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 9th of 142 in target volume (26.1% target share), 16th of 142 in downfield role (31.8% air-yards share) and 18th of 142 in efficiency (2.27 yards per route run). His points come from his target volume. Drake Maye is his quarterback.
He's on injured reserve, ankle. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most.
The next favorable matchup is the Bills in Week 4 (7th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Even in a frustrating 2025, Brown still bent defenses toward him: a 26.1% target share, 0.614 WOPR and 31.8% of Philadelphia's air yards, with a positive 0.278 EPA per play across 121 looks. The dip to 1,003 yards and 142.3 fantasy points (WR18) was a volume and efficiency correction off his 0.637 EPA monster 2024, not a sign of decline at 28. His hands stayed elite, just one drop on 79 catchable balls, and he buried 14 catches of 20-plus yards.
Now he leaves a crowded Eagles pecking order to become the undisputed No. 1 for an ascending Drake Maye in a pass-leaning attack. That setup points squarely at a target share north of his recent marks and the bounce-back projection of roughly 90 grabs, 1,273 yards and eight scores. The schedule grades tough, but volume this concentrated is exactly how WR1 ceilings get rebuilt. Draft him as a back-end WR1.
