A.J. Brown Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown injured his knee near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars and has remained in the locker room for the start of the second half. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update Brown's status when we know more.

Update: Brown has been ruled out.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith led the team in targets (7), receptions (6), and receiving yards (85) in Sunday's 20-point victory at Cincinnati. The big strike came late in the third quarter, when Smith snagged a 45-yard pass in the end zone. WR A.J. Brown trailed just behind Smith with 5 receptions for 84 yards on 6 targets. TE Grant Calcaterra was the only other Eagle to catch more than one pass (3-58 on 3 targets).

Eagles WR A.J. Brown dominated targets and delivered big production in his return Sunday from a three-game hamstring injury. His 9 targets constituted 36% of Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts and beat his nearest teammate by five. Brown caught six of them for 116 yards, 49 more yards than the nearest Eagle.

Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were both full participants in practice all week and are not listed on the final injury report. They'll be back in their usual roles vs. the Browns on Sunday and should be back in fantasy lineups. The Eagles are also getting RT Lane Johnson back this week. It's all good news for QB Jalen Hurts.

Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were full participants in Wednesday's practice. They're both on track to return and play their usual roles vs. the Browns this weekend. Get them back into fantasy lineups.

The Eagles are expecting WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) to play vs. the Browns this weekend, according to Underdog's James Palmer. Brown missed the last three games with his hamstring injury, while Smith missed Week 4 with his concussion. QB Jalen Hurts mustered just 158 passing yards on 5.3 yards per attempt with his top two WRs missing in that loss to the Bucs. With this offense now back to full strength, expect a big bounce-back from Hurts this weekend.

The Eagles have downgraded WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) to out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Despite a limited practice Friday, Brown looked like he was trending toward missing his third straight contest. We had already removed him from the WR rankings. That leaves Philly down its top two wideouts, with DeVonta Smith out for a concussion. TE Dallas Goedert sports plenty of target upside, while QB Jalen Hurts might need to lean more on his rushing for fantasy value this week.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. Philly could certainly use him with WR DeVonta Smith out, but we remain skeptical that Brown will play after only getting in a limited practice on Friday. An upcoming Week 5 bye should also figure into the team's decision on whether to play him against Tampa Bay. We'll look for further updates on Brown's status and get the Eagles' inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. Both guys now look unlikely to play vs. the Bucs this weekend. If that's the case, expect an even more run-heavy offense from Philadelphia with touches funneling to RB Saquon Barkley and TE Dallas Goedert.

Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Smith is unlikely to clear protocol in time for this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. And Brown looks no better than 50/50 to make it back for that one. If both guys are out, Philadelphia would be down to WRs Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson on the active roster. WR Parris Campbell was elevated from the practice squad for last week's game and would likely play again on Sunday. RB Saquon Barkley and TE Dallas Goedert would be the focal points of the offense.
