        A.J. Brown Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

        Eagles WR A.J. Brown delivered 121 yards and 2 TDs on 4 receptions in Sunday's win at Minnesota. It's a particularly reassuring stat line against a Vikings defense that entered the day ranked sixth in pass DVOA. But what it means going forward might depend on how you look at it.

        Eagles WR A.J. Brown didn't do much to help your fantasy team in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He managed just 5 receptions for 43 yards on eight targets. But his game presented some reasons for optimism and nearly delivered many more fantasy points.

        WR A.J. Brown finished Sunday's win over the Buccaneers with just 2 receptions for 7 yards. Unlike his quiet Week 1, though, the targets were there. Brown drew nine looks at Tampa, his third straight game with 8+. WR DeVonta Smith also managed just 2 catches for 29 yards. That came on a mere two targets. And there seems to be trouble brewing with the team's top two wideouts.

        Eagles WR A.J. Brown enjoyed a big rebound game in Sunday's comeback win over the Rams. He racked up 6 receptions for 109 yards and a TD on a team-high 10 targets. That doubled Brown's reception total through three weeks and well more than doubled his season yardage.

        Eagles WR A.J. Brown followed his one-target opener with better usage in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. Brown drew a team-high eight targets, accounting for 36.4% of Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts. Brown caught five of those but tallied only 27 yards.

        Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. His injury reportedly isn’t serious, so we’ll see if he can make it back for Week 3. Goedert’s absence leaves Grant Calcaterra as Philadelphia’s likely lead TE, but he’d be a desperation fantasy play. WRs A.J Brown and DeVonta Smith both gain target upside with Goedert out. They've climbed the Week 2 WR rankings.

        Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend. Goedert's absence would leave Grant Calcaterra as Philadelphia's likely lead TE, but he'd be a desperation fantasy play. WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith would gain target upside sans Goedert.

        Eagles QB Jalen Hurts finished Thursday night's win with the following numbers:

        • 19-of-23 passing for 152 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs
        • 14 carries, 62 yards, 2 TDs

        Typical run-happy approach for a Philly offense that was heavily favored at home, right? Well, according to Pro Football Focus, nine of those 14 rushes came off dropbacks.

        TE Dallas Goedert led the Eagles with seven targets in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys and posted a 7-44 receiving line. He caught three more passes than his nearest teammate, accounting for these market shares:

        • 30.4% of targets
        • 36.8% of receptions
        • 28.9% of receiving yards

        WR Jahan Dotson led the team in receiving yards (59), while RB Saquon Barkley ranked second in targets (five) and receptions (4).

        "Hell yeah," Eagles WR A.J. Brown said Sunday when asked whether he'll play in Thursday night's season opener vs. the Cowboys. Brown missed most of August with a hamstring injury, but it always seemed like the Eagles were playing it extra safe with their star receiver. Brown has been back on the practice field since August 27 and can be penciled into Week 1 fantasy lineups. For more on Brown's early-season outlook, check out our Preseason Injuries Update.

        Eagles WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) practiced again on Thursday, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic.

        Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, appears on track to play Week 1 against the Cowboys, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

        Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, there doesn’t seem to be great concern about the injury.

        Eagles WR A.J. Brown is sidelined with a hamstring injury, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane. It sounds like Brown got hurt on Friday and remained sidelined for Sunday's practice. No word yet on the severity or Brown's timeline for return.

        The Eagles named Kevin Patullo their new OC. He replaces Kellen Moore, who took the Saints' HC job earlier this month. Patullo has no play-calling experience at any level but has been with the Eagles since HC Nick Sirianni took over in 2021, serving as passing game coordinator and adding the associate HC title for the past two years. Patullo has been "an integral part of the transition between OCs the past few years and a trusted part of Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff," according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It's a continuity hire by the Eagles. Expect the 2025 offense to look similar to 2024's in terms of play design and run/pass split -- although Patullo's lack of experience adds some downside to the situation.
