From the article

A.J. Brown is averaging 1.22 yards per route run through three 2026 appearances, ranking 66th amongst qualified wideouts. So, uhh, that could be better. The same isn't really true of his usage since his return. He has commanded 16 targets on 64 Drake Maye attempts. That 25 percent target share would rank 12th on the season.

Ranked WR16; elite target share (25%) but struggling efficiency (1.22 yards/route).

Ranked WR16 in Week 8; averaging 1.22 yards per route run through three 2026 appearances, ranking 66th amongst qualified wideouts—well below expectations. However, his usage remains strong: he has commanded 16 targets on 64 Drake Maye attempts, a 25 percent target share that would rank 12th on the season. The Pats are still jamming Brown the ball, but it is time for him to start rewarding their efforts.
