A.J. Brown overpriced at WR7; down 20% in key metrics, declining separation, knee issues.
A.J. Brown is overpriced at ADP WR7 consensus versus the source's WR12 ranking. Brown declined ~20% in yards per target and EPA per target last season, finishing WR11 despite being 29 years old and at the edge of expected decline given his size. His tight window rate climbed 14%, quantifying declining separation ability, and he's breaking down in the lower extremities (knees). The Rams abandoned trade talks after reviewing his medicals, and no team beat the Patriots' offer despite WR scarcity. While many expect improvement with Drake Maye's QB play, the source questions whether Maye will perform as well with a tougher schedule and without the freedom to feed an alpha WR like Brown. The market is absolving Brown completely for 2025 despite these decline signals.
