they're saying he's going to be out four to six weeks, right? So, they're saying that he's going to be out four to six weeks. Even if he comes back, say in week six, week seven, can you start him then? I would say probably not. I would guess the first few weeks he comes back, he's not going to be usable.
STACKED’s take
Week-one injury sidelines him 4-6 weeks; not usable early upon return.
Suffered week-one injury expected to sideline him four to six weeks; even upon return in week six or seven, likely not usable in the first few weeks back, creating extended fantasy downside beyond the initial injury timeline. Flock Fantasy ranks JMO, Eggbuka, and DeVonta Smith ahead of Brown at this point and would trade Brown for any of those receivers. Source would sell Brown from a second-round draft position given the injury outlook and extended unavailability. In shallow 2-receiver, 1-flex formats, source advises against dramatic trades to backfill but suggests bench options like Debo Samuel. Source recommends trading away AJ Brown and Mike Evans for Malik Neighbors in a two-receiver one-flex format, indicating Brown is expendable despite the trade leaving wide receiver depth suspect.
