A.J. Brown is expected to miss at least four weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain. While Mack Hollins might seem like the obvious pickup, Romeo Doubs is the wide receiver to have while Brown is sidelined. Doubs was just signed to a four-year, $68 million contract. In the second half of Week 1, after the A.J. Brown injury, he had a 76% route share, second only to Douglas.

Doubs' $68M contract and 76% route share make him the A.J. Brown replacement over Hollins.

Doubs is the wide receiver to target while A.J. Brown is sidelined with a high-ankle sprain expected to keep him out at least four weeks. Although Mack Hollins played more snaps and was part of the starting offense, his role was primarily blocking in a run-heavy approach and he has never been a dominant receiver at age 32. DeMario Douglas saw seven targets but played over 80% of his snaps out of the slot. Doubs, just signed to a four-year, $68 million contract at age 26, had a 76% route share in the second half of Week 1 after Brown's injury, second only to Douglas. New England plays the Steelers in Week 2 as 4.5-point favorites, meaning they shouldn't play from behind, which makes Douglas less enticing. Poniatowski prefers Doubs as the player most likely to find value from the Brown injury.
