Brown's elite target and first-read share support WR1 floor with upside in Patriots system.

A.J. Brown's 2025 efficiency metrics support his WR1 floor: ninth in target share (27.5%), eighth in first-read share (35%), 17th in yards per route run (2.23), and 20th in first downs per route run (0.104) among 109 qualifying receivers. The source notes concerns about Drake Maye spreading the ball around are overblown because New England now has an alpha-level receiver on the depth chart, unlike last season. Brown is a strong WR1 with more upside than previous seasons thanks to New England's passing volume floor and ceiling.
