Despite a challenging matchup against Devon Witherspoon and a lower prop line of 60.5 yards, A.J. Brown remains a must-start for fantasy managers who drafted him.

Romeo Doubs is expected to be a near every-down player, but he is relegated to shaky flex status due to concerns regarding his lack of explosiveness and the team's projected run-heavy offensive approach.

0:00One thing that needs to be pointed out,
0:01obviously, as we are talking about the
0:02wide receiver position in this video, is
0:04that the Seattle secondary is pretty
0:06thin right now. They lost Tariq Woolen,
0:09who is on Philadelphia right now. Nick
0:11Amari, their stud sophomore safety, is
0:14probably trending towards not playing in
0:16this one. They also lost Kobe Bryant to
0:17free agency, went to Chicago. He got
0:19injured. But, right now, I'd just say
0:20the Seattle secondary is a little bit
0:22thinner compared to last year. That's
0:24going to be a problem because New
0:26England's receiving core is way less
0:28thin than it was last year, bringing in
0:29A.J. Brown. But, let's get to the point
0:32here. JSN's obviously a must-start.
0:34Christian Gonzalez, shout-out, just got
0:36the bagel this morning. A.J. Brown's an
0:38interesting one. He's obviously going to
0:39have a ton of Devon Witherspoon in his
0:42pocket on Wednesday night football. His
0:44prop is pretty low, 60 and 1/2 relative
0:47to like a JSN type 82 and 1/2. I do
0:49think, listen, if you drafted A.J.
0:51Brown, he's going into your lineup. He's
0:53going to get into the must-start
0:54category for me. Everybody else in this
0:56matchup, to me, is hands-off. Like, we
0:59don't really know what the roles are
1:01going to be behind these guys. Romeo
1:02Doubs will probably be a near every-down
1:04player, but he's never really been an
1:06explosive guy. He always had really good
1:08chemistry with Jordan Love. Does that
1:09carry over to Drake May in New England?
1:11I'd imagine both of these teams are
1:12probably going to be pretty run-heavy in
1:14their first games for 2026. So, we're
1:17going to put Doubs into shaky flex.
1:19We're going to put Shaheed into shaky
1:20flex.
