The source believes AJ Brown is positioned for an elite fantasy season in New England. Brown is an elite receiver who was not fully engaged in Philadelphia but will be highly motivated on the Patriots. At 29 years old and healthy, the offensive environment is significantly better than his last two years in Philly; Drake May threw 500 more yards than Jalen Hurts has ever thrown in a season and is better equipped to make throws complementing Brown's skill set. Brown adds verticality the Patriots lacked and can line up in the slot more than he did in Philadelphia, where he was dead last in slot usage. The source ranks him 14th overall, though other analysts have him 21st and 36th, reflecting significant variance in the market. The source acknowledges the Eagles traded Brown for a reason and that he checked out on a contending team, which is a red flag, but contextualizes this as motivation for a fresh start rather than a permanent concern.PositiveProjectionJun 1, 2026
