Brown

Brown saw seven targets on just 22 Jalen Hurts pass attempts in a game running back Saquon Barkley erupted for 302 combined yards and two touchdowns, catching the only passing score from Hurts in the process. Only Brown, tight end Dallas Goedert, and running back Saquon Barkley saw more than a single target with DeVonta Smith held out of action with a hamstring injury, something to monitor as the Eagles prepare to face the pass-funnel Ravens on the road in Week 12.

Most of Brown’s catches didn’t go for much yardage, but his fantasy night was “saved” with a 25-yard connection with Jalen Hurts. The wideout has picked up exactly five catches in 5-of-7 games while going for at least 60 yards in all but one of those contests, so you get the idea of what the floor with Brown is. You can do a lot worse. Brown should be considered a WR1 for the Week 12 matchup against the Rams.

Brown didn’t find the end zone in this one, but he did make several big plays. Brown hauled in a 30-yard reception to end the first quarter but later topped that play with a 44-yard reception down the sideline to help set up another touchdown drive in a game that the Eagles dominated from start to finish. Brown will now prepare to face the Commanders on a short week, and will profile as a solid WR1 on Thursday night.

Brown tweaked his knee in Week 9 and was unable to return after exiting in the third quarter. He participated in all three practices this week before being cleared and should be close to full strength heading into an NFC East showdown with Dallas. Brown hasn’t hit 100 yards in a game since Week 6, which was only his second triple-digit performance of the year. Despite injuries bogging down his season, Brown remains in the WR1 ranks for Week 10.

After suffering a knee injury in Sunday’s win over the Jaguars, Brown was limited in Wednesday’s practice but upgraded to full on Thursday. The veteran receiver is considered “day-to-day” with the injury, but Thursday’s practice should be a good sign for his Week 10 availability. We’ll have a better sense of where things stand when Friday’s injury report is released, but if he’s active, Brown will be a fringe WR1 against a struggling Cowboys defense.

We’ll assume it’s a limited session until the Eagles’ final injury report drops. Either way, this is good news for Brown and his fantasy backers. The stud receiver went down with a knee injury on Sunday and did not return. An MRI didn’t reveal any major issues and he is currently considered day to day. Barring a setback, Brown is on track to suit up as a fantasy WR1 versus the Cowboys.

Monday’s MRI confirmed previous reports that suggested Brown avoided a serious injury in Sunday’s win over the Jaguars. The day-to-day designation immediately gives Brown a good shot at suiting up in Week 10 against the Cowboys, but we’ll see if Wednesday’s injury report reveals a different outlook regarding his availability.

Brown had an MRI this afternoon but this matches the tenor of a morning report from Jordan Schultz that Brown is expected to be fine. How fine that “fine” is, whether it’s a couple days off in practice or potentially missing Week 10 against the Cowboys, remains up in the air. Brown appears to have avoided anything super serious though, so that’s a sigh of relief for fantasy managers.

According to Schultz, Brown will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the full extent of his injury, but he’s believed to have avoided anything serious. Brown left Sunday’s game in the third quarter and did not return to the field. While the initial reports are concerning, we’ve seen teams downplay the severity of a player’s injury only for said player to still miss time. Fantasy managers don’t need to panic at this time, but Brown’s name will be one to watch on this week’s injury report.

Brown left the game in the third quarter and appeared to be in significant pain while being treated by the Eagles trainers. He had two grabs for 36 yards before exiting. A Brown absence would boost targets and DeVonta Smith and would likely result in the Eagles being even more run heavy than they have been in 2024.
