NegativeUsageAug 7, 2026
The source notes that A.J. Brown is no longer on the team, which serves as the primary catalyst for the increased target and air yard projection for DeVonta Smith.NegativeValueJun 29, 2026
The source advises against stacking AJ Brown with Drake Maye early in the draft, suggesting waiting another round to pair them if desired.PositiveValueJun 29, 2026
Ranked WR8 in rankings; moving to Patriots with Drake Maye, described as 'easily the best quarterback AJ Brown's played with' and a special passer coming off near-MVP season. Source attributes last year's reception perception decline to Kevin Pettullo's offensive incompetence in Philadelphia rather than talent decline. With Maye's arm talent and A.J. Brown's downfield ability, source expects him to be slotted as number-one target. Source states: 'AJ Brown's not going to be a guy I'm fading going into 2026. If I get him in the middle of the second round, he's my wide receiver one.' Source expects him to be polarizing this offseason due to his move from Philadelphia to the New England Patriots, but views the Pats as a good passing offense with Drake Maye putting up a near-MVP season last year, suggesting Brown has significant upside in a pass-first system.PositiveMatchupDec 24, 2025
Placed in the 'feels good' category for Week 17 against Buffalo despite the tough Bills matchup for opposing wide receivers. BDGE Fantasy Football notes he's 'getting a ton of targets' and has 'been really, really efficient and effective in the passing game.'PositiveProjectionNo date
Ranked WR8 in the source's rankings (ADPM has him at WR9) and traded to the Patriots. The source is excited about this landing spot, noting Brown 'is always consistently one of the best receivers on a route basis' and 'always up there top three statistically' in per-route metrics. The Patriots' pass rate over expectation is 'green across the board' with 'positive' passing rates in 'nearly every aspect of the field,' contrasting sharply with his entire career: Tennessee (−6% to −9% pass rate under expectation) and Philadelphia (negative passing rates all seven years). Pairing Brown with Drake May's elite accuracy (true completion percentage #1, pressured completion percentage #1, clean pocket completion percentage #1) creates significant upside. The source is 'buying him' based on this major offensive environment upgrade, willing to 'wipe away a lot of what happened with AJ Brown last year and blame Kevin Patulo, their OC, and just the kind of like toxic locker room.' This is framed as a fresh slate and the long-awaited opportunity for Brown.PositiveProjectionNo date
Author is buying AJ Brown after a disappointing 2025 season, attributing last year's underperformance to Kevin Patullo's offensive scheme and toxic locker room environment rather than declining talent. With Drake May's elite accuracy metrics and the Patriots' pass-heavy approach, author expects a fresh slate and strong 2026 season.PositiveMatchupNo date
New England's offense has positive pass rate over expectation across the field, contrasting sharply with Tennessee and Philadelphia where Brown played with negative pass rates; paired with Drake May's elite accuracy, this is a significant upgrade.PositiveProjectionNo date
AJ Brown is ranked WR8 with ADP at WR9; he's consistently one of the best receivers on a per-route basis and is now in a pass-first offense with Drake May, which is what fantasy analysts have wanted for years.
