Is A.J. Brown hurt or healthy? Is A.J. Brown playing in Week 6? Read the latest A.J. Brown fantasy football injury updates and outlook.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is an absolute beast of a player. There's little doubt he's one of the league's finest wideouts, and he's proven it, especially over the last two seasons. He's had two straight seasons of 140+ targets, 85+ receptions, 1450+ yards, and 7+ touchdowns, and finished as the WR5 and WR6 in full-PPR scoring.
Brown is the alpha of Philly's offense, and it sorely misses him. He's not played for three straight weeks now, and anyone with a working pair of eyes can tell the difference. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and the passing attack are struggling without the All-Pro talent.
Is A.J. Brown still hurt or is he healthy? When will he return to the lineup and play?

A.J. Brown Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Signs are pointing toward a clear return for Week 6, so his fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. Brown has now logged two days of full practice. It appears the Eagles' plan all along was to bring him back after the bye week, and the extra week of rest has surely benefited him.

The off week was perfectly timed for his fantasy managers, who skipped a missed game that could've happened due to the injury if it had happened later in the season. There's little reason to think he'd be participating fully in practices if he wasn't ready to go. Fantasy managers should expect him to take the field in Week 6, barring an unforeseen setback.
A.J. Brown Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6
He's simply an incredible player. You have to start him if he's on your roster in every game he plays, no matter the matchup. He's gone to three Pro Bowls and was named a second-team All-Pro twice. He's a potential top-5 player in his position. He's just an absolute stud.
Not to be forgotten amongst all the Saquon hype…
AJ Brown had 119 yards himself including this spectacular 67-yard touchdown
It’s wild how this is almost routine. We’ve never had WR play like we do now 🦅

He can win with speed, crafty route running, physicality, vertical hops, and plenty of other ways. He's an absolute nightmare matchup for any opposing defensive backs. He should never see the bench when he suits up for a game.
