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.
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:
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.
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.
