NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that he doesn't "sense any great concern" regarding Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown's (hamstring) injury. Brown has been in and out of practice over the last few weeks while dealing with a nagging hamstring issue. There was some worry that he'd suffered a setback when he was downgraded from a limited session earlier in the week, although it doesn't appear to be a serious ailment. With that said -- and the regular season looming -- it's worth keeping an eye on. Hamstring injuries can be tricky, and any time missed by the Ole Miss product would be a boon to teammate DeVonta Smith's production. Brown could be a decent value at his current draft spot -- just inside the top 20 -- but the inherent risk in selecting him grows greater each day he misses practice time.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) did not participate in the team's joint practice with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. It's his second straight day watching from the sideline after putting in a limited session on Tuesday. The veteran receiver has been managing the ailment for nearly two weeks now, and it would be a surprise to see Brown on the field for a preseason game. The 28-year-old missed three games with a hamstring issue last season. Despite that, Brown logged his third-straight 1,000-yard season and is ranked as a top 10 fantasy football wide receiver once again. For now, it doesn't appear like Brown is in jeopardy of missing any regular-season action, but the situation is worth watching as the preseason winds down.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was a non-participant for the Eagles' joint practice against the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, according to Ashlyn Sullivan of NBC Sports Philadelphia. The veteran has missed some time during the past two weeks dealing with the injury, but did log a pair of limited practices this week after sitting out a preseason game. The club doesn't seem overly concerned about the injury for its top wide receiver, but is clearly taking it easy ahead of its Sept. 4 opener against Dallas.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's training camp practice, according to Tim McManus of ESPN. Brown missed a week of practices due to a hamstring ailment, but he's been limited since getting back on the field on Sunday. The Eagles are being cautious with their 28-year-old star receiver, and don't be surprised if he doesn't suit up in the preseason at all. For fantasy managers, there's no reason yet to be worried about his status for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 4 versus the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. Brown has been a Pro Bowler in two of his three years in Philadelphia and has reached the 1,000-yard mark in five of his six NFL campaigns, including in each of the last three years. The former second-rounder has had at least seven touchdowns since 2022 and is a top-10 fantasy wideout going into his seventh year.

Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was not practicing Saturday morning, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports. Brown continues to battle through a hamstring injury that caused him to miss Thursday's preseason matchup against the Detroit Lions, and he has now been sidelined since August 1. The Eagles play the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, September 4, for their season opener, and Brown will have two more opportunities to suit up for the preseason before that matchup. He doesn't need to get those reps for his fantasy outlook in 2025, but fantasy managers certainly don't want to see this hamstring linger into the regular season. Brown is considered a WR1 in all fantasy formats and is the WR10 overall according to NFFC. With Brown sidelined, Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith will continue to rotate in three-wideout sets with the first-team offense alongside DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is expectedly not playing in the team's preseason opener on Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown has missed three training camp practices with a hamstring injury, but it's not believed to be serious, and the Eagles are just being cautious with their star wideout. Philly will likely look to get the 28-year-old into one of their next two preseason games, but they aren't going to push it so that he will be 100 percent ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 4 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. Barring a change to his injury status when we get closer to the season opener, Brown is a top-10 fantasy wideout in one of the top offenses in football. The former second-rounder is a three-time Pro Bowler and has had over 1,400 receiving yards in two of his three seasons with the Eagles.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is not participating again in practice on Tuesday. However, Zach Berman of PHLY noted that the team is likely exercising caution with their top wideout given that we are still in the early stages of the preseason. However, fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status in case this injury begins to linger as we approach the regular season. In 2024, Brown posted his third-straight 1,000-yard campaign as he brought in 1,079 yards on just 67 receptions across 13 games. He found the back of the end zone seven times and posted a strong 16.1 YPR. Despite playing in a run-focused offense spearheaded by superstar Saquon Barkley, Brown remains a solid WR1 in all leagues given his ability to find the back of the end zone.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) will not practice on Sunday, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. It's unclear how severe this hamstring ailment is for the superstar wide receiver, but this is an injury worth monitoring. Brown missed three games in 2024 due to a hamstring issue. The 28-year-old is a crucial part of the Eagles' offense and is coming off a year in which he recorded 67 catches for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games. Any potential missed time for Brown would massively improve that fantasy outlook for Eagles WR2 DeVonta Smith. Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, and Terrace Marshall Jr. are other Philadelphia wideouts who might see a bump in usage as well. Assuming this is just a minor injury for Brown, he profiles as a low-end WR1 in fantasy.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught three of his five targets for 43 yards during Sunday's Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Brown had a quieter start to the playoffs, but he eventually came on strong with nine catches, 139 yards, and two touchdowns over his final two contests. The 27-year-old has shown an ability to produce in a crowded offense, compiling 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season despite fighting to earn opportunities over stars like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert. There are certainly many mouths to feed in Philadelphia, but Brown has shown that he can be the primary receiving option en route to ranking as a strong WR1 for fantasy purposes.
Feb 10, 2025 12:36 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown takes on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, hoping to build on his strong NFC Championship performance. Brown has had a volatile season due to the Eagles' run-heavy approach, but when they pass, he dominates targets. He leads all receivers in air yard share (52%) and holds a 34% target share, ranking second in the league. When the Eagles have thrown 25+ times this season, Brown has thrived, averaging 10 targets for 100 yards. Against a Chiefs defense that will likely key in on Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia may need to air it out, giving Brown a prime opportunity to shine. Expect a more balance offensive attack, making Brown a crucial factor in this matchup.
Feb 8, 2025 10:37 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown delivered a massive bounce-back performance against the Washington Commanders, hauling in six receptions on eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. This marked Brown's best game since Week 15, showcasing his elite talent and reminding everyone of the dominant playmaker he is. Brown's ability to make plays was on full display, as he consistently found space and made critical catches. With the Eagles adopting a more balanced offensive attack in this game, Brown thrived and proved why he's one of the league's premier receivers. As the Eagles gear up for their Super Bowl matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Brown will be a key factor in their offensive game plan and poised for another standout performance.
Jan 27, 2025 9:50 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, illness, rest) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report. He will play on Sunday in the NFC Championship against the division-rival Washington Commanders and will be hoping to do some damage after barely being heard from in the first two postseason games. Even though the 27-year-old has just three catches on 10 targets for 24 yards and no touchdowns in playoff wins against the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams, Brown will have some of the most upside on Championship weekend at the receiver position. In the last meeting against the Commanders on Dec. 22, he had eight catches for 97 yards and a score on a season-high 15 targets. And in the first meeting on Nov. 14, he caught five of eight targets for 65 yards. Brown has high-end WR1 upside for DFS lineups.
Jan 24, 2025 4:49 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, illness, rest) upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice session after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. In addition to a knee injury that he's been nursing since late in the regular season, Brown has been a bit under the weather this week, but a return to a full practice on Thursday means he should be just fine to play on Sunday in the NFC Championship game against the division-rival Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old pass-catcher continues to play nearly all of Philly's offensive snaps on game days, but he's caught only three passes for 24 yards in two playoff wins over the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams the last two weeks. Fantasy managers brave enough to take the chance on Brown in DFS lineups this weekend will be leaning on the fact he caught 13 passes (23 targets) for 162 yards and a TD in two games against the Commanders earlier this year.
Jan 23, 2025 6:15 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee/rest) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Brown has been consistently receiving rest for several weeks so his limited participation on Wednesday comes as no surprise. Despite the rest, Brown has been quiet throughout the playoffs. In two games played, Brown has only recorded three receptions for 24 yards. The Eagles have consistently ridden running back Saquon Barkley to victory. With the high-powered offense of the Washington Commanders coming to town for the NFC Championship, Brown may be needed to take a larger role in the offense. Brown is absolutely capable of carrying a big load. He recorded 1,079 receiving yards in 13 games this season. That came after recording at least 1,456 yards in each of his first two seasons in Philadelphia. Look for Brown to ramp up his practice participation throughout the week ahead of the NFC Championship on Sunday.
Jan 22, 2025 6:20 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a subdued performance in the 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams, finishing with just two receptions for 14 yards. Over the last three games, Brown has averaged two catches for 20 yards, a surprising dip for one of the league's most elite receivers. The Eagles have leaned heavily on Saquon Barkley and the ground game during this stretch, limiting Brown's opportunities. He hasn't found the end zone since Week 16 against the Cowboys, but his ability to stretch the field and make big plays remains critical to Philadelphia's success. As the Eagles prepare to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, Brown's role in the passing attack will be pivotal.
Jan 20, 2025 9:20 AM EST
According to the team, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report prior to their playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams. Brown saw out during the initial session on Wednesday and upgraded to limited participation on Thursday. The top wideout was able to log a full session on Friday and does not carry a designation into the weekend. The 27-year-old has had his practice sessions monitored over the past month due to a lingering knee injury. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory over the Packers, Brown caught just one of his three targets for ten yards. However, Brown scored three touchdowns during Weeks 15 through 17 while averaging 81 yards per game. Fantasy managers should view him as a WR1 in all DFS competitions this weekend despite facing a Los Angeles defense that has allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points to opposing wide receivers.
Jan 17, 2025 4:11 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is practicing on Thursday after being listed as a DNP on Wednesday with knee and rest designations. Brown was limited or missing from practice early in last week's preparation, and the team is clearly being cautious with the All-Pro wideout. Brown registered just three receptions for 10 yards on three targets in last week's NFC Wild Card victory over the Green Bay Packers, but the team attempted just 21 passes compared to 35 rushes. Brown should be expected to suit up on Sunday, and he'll face a Rams defense that surrendered the 14th-most fantasy points per game to wideouts during the regular season.
Jan 16, 2025 2:39 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, rest) did not practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Brown has dealt with a minor knee injury since late in the regular season but hasn't missed any time because of it, and he indicated that he was just being rested on Wednesday. The 27-year-old fully expects to return to the field on Thursday and be ready to play this Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round of the postseason. The veteran wideout was a huge disappointment for any fantasy managers that had him in their DFS lineups on wild-card weekend, as he had just one catch for 10 yards on three targets in a 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers. Brown is a great bounce-back candidate this weekend, though, especially after he caught six of seven targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in the Nov. 24 win over the Rams in LA.
Jan 15, 2025 7:33 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a subdued performance in Sunday night's 22-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers, recording just one reception for 10 yards. However, Brown's impact extended beyond the stat sheet as his crucial downfield blocking played a significant role in Dallas Goedert's highlight-reel touchdown catch and run. With the Eagles leaning heavily on their running game and defense, Brown's services as a primary playmaker were not needed against Green Bay. Nevertheless, his presence on the field commands defensive attention and keeps opposing secondaries honest. As the Eagles prepare to host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, Brown remains a formidable weapon capable of making game-changing plays when called upon.
Jan 13, 2025 9:58 AM EST
According to the team, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. The star wideout opened the week as a limited participant but was then downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. However, the team noted that sitting him on Thursday was part of the plan. As expected, the wideout returned to full participation on Friday and does not carry an injury designation. Brown was given the week off in Week 18 as the Eagles already locked up the No.2 seed. However, in his previous three games, Brown found the back of the end zone in each of them and averaged a strong 20.4 PPR points per game over this stretch. Fantasy managers should view Brown as a high-end WR1 this weekend in DFS formats, as he is Jalen Hurts' go-to option in the passing attack.
