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.

Considered day-to-day
Brown (knee) will be considered day-to-day, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown's tests on his knee came back clean, and Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer had previously reported that Brown wasn't looking at an extended absence. It sounds like Brown might have a real chance to play next Sunday against the Cowboys despite not playing the second half against the Jaguars in Week 9.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May not miss time
Brown didn't sustain any structural damage to his knee in Sunday's win over the Jaguars and may not miss a Week 10 clash with the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The star wideout left Sunday's game early in the third quarter due to a knee injury, but an MRI on Monday revealed nothing more than a bruise. Brown already missed three weeks earlier this season due to a hamstring strain, but in the five games he's played he's caught 23 of 34 targets for 444 yards and three touchdowns, averaging a career-high 13.1 yards per target.
