2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown's two years in Philadelphia have resulted in the two largest receiving yardage totals in franchise history, yet his 2023 ultimately felt like a disappointment on account of so much of the production coming in September/October before the Eagles collapsed down the stretch. He ripped off six straight games with at least 127 yards Weeks 3-8, then had just two TDs and one 100-yard outing the rest of the year despite averaging 9.4 targets Weeks 9-17. The cherry on top was an absence from Philadelphia's playoff loss to Tampa -- his first missed game since 2021 -- due to a knee injury that isn't expected to impact his offseason preparations. Brown called in to a Philadelphia radio station in February to shut down trade rumors (which always seemed dubious) and then signed a three-year extension in April. He'll enter his age-27 season working under newly hired offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who had a rough 2023 for the injury-riddled Chargers and is expected to call the plays in Philadelphia (just as former OC Brian Johnson did). Moore likely will try to keep WR DeVonta Smith more involved after the target gap between him and Brown widened considerably between 2022 and 2023, but that might be at the expense of other players more so than coming out of Brown's slice of the pie. Brown's combination of age, talent and rapport with QB Jalen Hurts would seem to make him one of the safer options among players commonly selected in the late first round or early second round of fantasy drafts.

RANKS
Ruled out for Sunday
Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With both DeVonta Smith (concussion) and Brown out, the Eagles' passing attack will have to rely on a collective group of newcomers between Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Parris Campbell and John Ross. As a result, Saquon Barkley could be a featured option continuously out of the backfield, but should the Eagles find themselves behind early, it's anyone's guess as to who becomes the featured receiver.

The dominant physical skills Brown displayed in Tennessee for three seasons finally translated to dominant fantasy stats once he escaped the conservative Titans offense and joined a more balanced, spread-out offense in Philadelphia. Not only did he manage a slew of career highs, he bested his previous high-water marks by margins of 39 targets (145), 18 catches (88) and 421 yards (1,496). It was a breakout year for Brown, fellow wideout DeVonta Smith, QB Jalen Hurts and even RB Miles Sanders, all aided by an offensive line that's widely considered the best in the league. Sanders is gone now, along with former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, replaced by Rashaad Penny and internal promotion Brian Johnson, respectively. The Eagles avoided the high degree of turnover often seen with Super Bowl participants, especially on the offensive side where Brown, Smith and Dallas Goedert have plenty of time to run routes with the help of an elite O-line and highly mobile quarterback. The only real drawback from a fantasy standpoint is that Brown probably won't quite match the volume accrued by other receivers of his caliber, instead relying on big plays and frequent red-zone trips to make another run at WR1 production.
