A.J. Brown's Back

By Matt Schauf | Updated on Mon, Oct 14 2024 2:32 AM UTC
A.J. Brown Headshot

Eagles WR A.J. Brown dominated targets and delivered big production in his return Sunday from a three-game hamstring injury. His 9 targets constituted 36% of Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts and beat his nearest teammate by five. Brown caught six of them for 116 yards, 49 more yards than the nearest Eagle.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Brown has played just two games this season and delivered these receiving lines:

  • 5-119-1
  • 6-116-1

He has also seen 32.2% of targets across those two contests, compared with 20.3% for DeVonta Smith.

That gap is likely to shrink, but that start also shows why you drafted Brown as early as you did. And he has delivered in his two games despite a QB and offense that aren't yet operating near peak.

Brown now gets a nice stretch of matchups:

  • at Giants
  • at Bengals
  • vs. Jaguars

Enjoy.
