A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined to claim 23 of Philly's 25 targets in Sunday's loss to Washington. Brown led with 15, catching eight for 97 yards and a TD. Smith tallied a 6-51 receiving line among 8 targets. RBs Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell logged a target apiece.

QB Kenny Pickett stepped in early in the first quarter after Jalen Hurts left with a concussion. He threw his first three passes to A.J. Brown and completed all three, including a 4-yard TD.
We'll see whether it's Pickett or Hurts for a Week 17 home date with the Cowboys.
If it's Pickett, expect Brown and Smith to sit lower in our Week 17 WR rankings than they would with Hurts -- in spite of Sunday's results.
