FantasyPros Articles on A.J. Brown
From the article
A.J. Brown has a new home in New England for the foreseeable future. Brown has been a WR1 in fantasy points per game over the last four seasons (WR10, WR12, WR8, WR8). Brown moves from an Eagles offense that was 15th in neutral passing rate to a Patriots' system that was ninth in neutral passing rate. Last season, Philly was 32nd in passing rate inside the ten-yard line while the Patriots were 15th.
STACKED’s take
Brown's Patriots move unlocks TD upside and top-five potential despite early ADP.
A.J. Brown is being drafted 8 spots earlier than expert consensus (WR8 ECR vs. RK15 ADP), but the source argues he deserves the discount. Brown has been a WR1 in fantasy points per game over the last four seasons (WR10, WR12, WR8, WR8) and moves from an Eagles offense 15th in neutral passing rate to a Patriots system 9th in neutral passing rate that could climb higher with Brown and Romeo Doubs. The Patriots were 15th in passing rate inside the ten-yard line versus Philly's 32nd, potentially unlocking career-high TD upside. Among 109 qualifying receivers last year, Brown was 9th in target share (27.5%), 17th in yards per route run (2.23), 8th in first-read share (35%), and 20th in first downs per route run (0.104). The source notes Brown is a strong WR1 with more upside than previous seasons because Drake Maye now has an alpha-level receiver on the depth chart.
