Footballguys on A.J. Brown
From the article
Brown returned sooner than expected from his high ankle sprain but clearly did not look 100%. Historically, wide receivers returning from high ankle sprains tend to experience lingering performance declines, and adding a knee injury only complicates matters. At this point, Brown is nowhere near the WR1 ceiling fantasy managers drafted him for.
STACKED’s take
Brown's dual knee-ankle injuries and poor return from high ankle sprain make him risky.
Brown is listed as questionable with both knee and ankle injuries heading into Week 8. He returned sooner than expected from his high ankle sprain but clearly did not look 100%. His absence from Friday's practice is concerning and typically points toward a player being inactive. Historically, wide receivers returning from high ankle sprains experience lingering performance declines, and adding a knee injury complicates matters further. Even if active, expectations should be significantly tempered. Brown is nowhere near the WR1 ceiling fantasy managers drafted him for, especially given the current state of the Patriots' offense, and remains a risky fantasy option with a concerning floor.
