With a shift in offensive philosophy, A.J. Brown’s fantasy stock has taken a hit to no fault of his own.
A.J. Brown’s average draft position has raised 4.3 spots on UnderDog since January 27th. from 22.5 up to 18.2. This move is notable as it is significantly more difficult to move up the ADP board in the earlier rounds of drafts.
Drafters have gotten savvy to the price dip for A.J. Brown and adjusted to a misprint in his initial ADP. Last year, A.J. Brown was going at the 1-2 turn in drafts and is now priced later in the 2nd round. Part of the dip involves the Eagles being last in team pass attempts per game in the NFL in 2024 at 28.7.
Despite the low passing volume, A.J. Brown managed to be the WR-15. He was 1st in air yards share at 48.3%, 3rd in yards per route run at 2.82, and 1st in yards per team pass attempt at 3.17. A.J. Brown’s 126 score in explosive rating was 4th best at wide receiver. The rise in ADP is simply the market reacting to A.J. Brown still being a player in his prime while in a less optimal setting as the Eagles offense favors the run game led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown has big day in NFC championship with a trip to Super Bowl on the line.
The Eagles passing game and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore had been heavily scrutinized during the 2025 postseason, with Jalen Hurts averaging 129 yards per game in the previous 2 games. That limited passing game production stifled the production of the Eagles receivers, particularly the 3x All Pro A.J. Brown.
Brown had recorded just 3 catches for 24 yards in the 2025 postseason for the Eagles. Sunday the passing game was efficient and effective, with Brown leading the wide receiver corps with 6 catches, 96 yards and a score on 8 targets. Brown battled and bested the Commanders corners all day on Sunday, getting the best of the always contentious Marshon Lattimore.
There are no questions about the abilities of the Eagles star receiver, as he typically produces when called upon. Brown had an uncharacteristically bad day last week, with several key drops in his limited opportunities. The Eagles never lost faith and Brown rose to the occasion on Sunday, carrying the Eagles passing game. The Eagles will look for A.J. Brown to be dominant again in Super Bowl 59 in two weeks.

With nary a challenge from their first two playoff opponents, expect Jalen Hurts to have to pass more going up against Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.
The Philadelphia Eagles have coasted in the first 2 rounds of the NFC playoffs with victories over the Packers and the Rams. The tenor of both games have had the feeling of an easy Eagles victory, however the scoreboard has been too close for comfort, making the Eagles ripe for an upset.
Jalen Hurts has thrown for less than 200 yards in 5 out of the last 6 games. On Sunday, Hurts threw for 0 touchdowns and managed only 128 passing yards on 15 completions. Hurts also took 7 sacks, one of which resulted in a safety.
Much is being made of Jalen Hurts lack of pocket awareness. His 2 primary receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith had a combined 6 catches for 35 yards and 0 touchdowns. In the event Jayden Daniels and the Commanders push tempo and get a lead early, it will be the ultimate test of Jalen Hurts as he has coasted primarily through the run game between he and stud running back Saquon Barkley.

The Philadelphia Eagles extend A.J. Brown for 3 years and $96 million, $84 million guaranteed.
Fly Eagles Fly indeed. The money keeps flying in Philadelphia after Devonta Smith’s recent extension. The Philadelphia Eagles have also extended their star WR, A.J. Brown, for 3 years, worth up to $96 million with $84 million guaranteed, both the highest in the league for a receiver. He will remain a top weapon for Jalen Hurts and fantasy owners potentially through the 2029 season.
Since his arrival in 2019, A.J. Brown has been impressive with his physicality, elite speed, and big-play ability. More recently in his two seasons in Philly, Brown has put up serious numbers averaging 97 catches, 1,456 yards and 9 TDs. It’s no wonder why the Eagles want to keep the dominant 26 year old long-term. Again, what were the Tennessee Titans thinking to let him leave?
Brown will continue to lead the pass-catchers Philadelphia, providing both Hurts and fantasy gamers with one of the game’s premier weapons. His value remains consistent as a clear-cut alpha and high-end WR1.
