A.J. Brown Garners 11 Targets on Sunday Night, Eagles Offense Under New Coordinator
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown finished with seven receptions on 11 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over Detroit. While he holds the two largest single-season receiving yardage totals in Eagles franchise history, his 2023 production was heavily front-loaded before the team's late-season collapse and his absence from the playoff loss due to a knee injury. Brown, who signed a three-year extension in April, enters his age-27 season under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Moore is expected to involve DeVonta Smith more, potentially at the expense of other players rather than Brown's share. Known for his dominant physical skills and YAC ability, Brown has consistently commanded respect from opponents. Despite past injury concerns and playing in run-first offenses, his talent, age, and rapport with Jalen Hurts make him a safe fantasy option, though his volume might not always match other top-tier receivers.
