Is A.J. Brown Playing in Week 4?
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Thursday, having already missed Wednesday's session due to his hamstring injury.
His availability for the Week 4 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is becoming increasingly uncertain. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should watch his practice status on Friday and check how the team officially lists him for Sunday.
His status as of Thursday is questionable, but fantasy managers should expect to be without their star wide receiver this week as he is still battling the hamstring injury.
No AJ Brown or DeVonta Smith at the start of Eagles practice
If A.J. Brown manages to return to the field this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he should be inserted into all fantasy lineups without hesitation.
As one of the top wide receivers in the league, Brown possesses the talent and ability to make an immediate impact, even against a tough Buccaneers defense. His route-running precision, size, and physicality allow him to create separation and make big plays, making him a must-start option whenever he’s active.
We saw this demonstrated in Week 1, where Brown recorded five catches for 119 yards and one touchdown.
However, if Brown cannot suit up, fantasy managers might want to pivot and consider adding Jahan Dotson to their rosters, especially if Devonta Smith is also ruled out due to his concussion.
With both Brown and potentially Smith sidelined, Dotson could see a significant increase in targets, positioning him as a valuable flex option.
The Eagles' young wide receiver has already demonstrated his potential and ability to capitalize on increased opportunities, making him a smart pickup for those looking to fill the void left by the absence of two prominent receivers.
