Did They Finally Fix A.J. Brown?

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Brown's six targets trailed WR DeVonta Smith's team lead by five, but it still accounted for 26.1% of QB Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts.

Brown also claimed 21% of the team's receptions, 37.1% of the receiving yards and two of three total TDs.

The offense still looked disjointed at plenty of points throughout the game, but Hurts reset his season high in passing yards for the third straight game and tossed just four incomplete passes among his 23 attempts.

It was an undeniably positive performance for a pass offense that has struggled more than the 5-2 start would indicate. And Brown's 4 catches included:

• a 37-yard TD in the first quarter
• a 26-yard TD in the second quarter
• and a 45-yard connection on third-and-9 to seal the victory.

It was the kind of performance that would look like standard Brown vs. a tough pass defense if Philadelphia entered Sunday with no offensive concerns. And now he gets the fifth-best schedule the rest of the way for WR scoring, according to our strength of schedule page.

Trade Value Changes

Had Brown's Week 7 gone more quietly, he looked like a potential buy ahead of a Week 8 matchup with the Giants.

The 2-TD outing might make it seem like that window has closed, but you might still have an opportunity.

It's at least worth checking to see if the Brown manager in your league remains skeptical.
