    AJ Brown is targeted on 27.78% of his routes when the defense blitzes, the 15th highest rate among wide receivers. The Commanders blitz at the 6th highest rate in the NFL, which could lead to more opportunities for Brown in this matchup.

WEEK 16@WAS

DRAFT RANK
WR-6
PROJ PTS
292.58
ADP
19.4
Brown has been a consistently elite wide receiver throughout his career, although he doesn't run an elite number of routes. He and Jefferson are the only wide receivers who have averaged 2.5 yards per route run or better on at least 300 routes in each of the last three seasons. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are the only other players who have done this twice in the past three years.
The main factor that could impact Brown's performance is Kellen Moore's offensive scheme. One consistent aspect of Moore's approach is that he runs a lot of plays, which should benefit everyone in the Eagles offense. However, his pass rate has varied based on his personnel, and the Eagles have the flexibility to be either a pass-first or run-first offense, depending on their personnel.
Brown has an ADP of WR6 as a late first-round pick, which is fair. He has ranked higher than that in total points and slightly lower in points per game, and he is likely to finish around that area again. While there's little reason for optimism that he will exceed this ranking outside of top wide receivers getting injured and Brown staying healthy, the main risk is that he might lose a few targets. Even if that happens, he can still easily end up as a top-10 fantasy wide receiver.
