Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown's potential trade value may not command a first-round pick coming back to the Philadelphia Eagles in any deal, in the opinion of NBC Sports Philadelphia's Reuben Frank on Monday, April 20.
Huddle Up: While Brown finished as a top-12 fantasy wide receiver in 2025, he had to navigate some barren offensive play from the Eagles in the front half of last season to make up for it in the back half. From Weeks 11 through 18, Brown averaged 18.6 fantasy points and was WR5 in that span. Perhaps a much-rumored trade to New England could pair him with Drake Maye and provide some consistency? Brown's fantasy managers would love that, and we're looking at him as a high-end fantasy WR2 with plenty of upside to be a WR1 again in 2026 if that trade were to happen.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown's trade talks with the New England Patriots are expected to pick up around June 1, and a trade is now considered likely.
Huddle Up: Brown ended up being the WR11 in PPR leagues, but he was nearly unplayable the first month of the season after most took him as a WR1 or a WR2. A fresh start would serve him well, but a high-end WR2 is the place to take him.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown's status with the team remains unchanged despite the trade for wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, according to general manager Howie Roseman.
Huddle Up: Brown has been part of trade rumors all offseason, and the acquisition of Wicks has just fueled more speculation that Brown could be traded. Nonetheless, Brown will be a starter no matter where he plays in 2026 and should be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown still has interest from the New England Patriots. The Eagles would incur $40 million in dead cap money if they trade him before June 1 and $20 million if they traded him after.
Huddle Up: Brown had a miserable first three weeks but still wound up the WR11 in PPR leagues. He's a volatile option, but if you can land him as a WR2, he'll pay dividends.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown will not be traded at this point even though the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots have shown interest, according to sources. The Rams and Patriots are expected to continue to show interest in Brown during the offseason.
Huddle Up: Brown has been part of trade rumors since the offseason started, but it seems he will remain with the Eagles for the time being. He will be a starter no matter where he plays in 2026 and should be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is the subject of trade talks, but the Eagles are seeking a first-round pick with a second-round value attached to it.
Huddle Up: Brown finished as the WR11 in PPR leagues, but he really hurt teams that took him as a WR1/WR2 type early in the season. He had nine catches for 60 yards in the first three games combined and had a couple of two-TD games to rekindle his value. He'll be a rollercoaster in fantasy again if he stays with the Eagles and could benefit from a team more apt to throw his way.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is a target for the Patriots in trade talks, and the team will "be active" in discussions to acquire him, in the opinion of Chad Graff of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: Brown has been a stalwart for fantasy since his rookie season, notching six seasons as a top-24 fantasy receiver out of his seven NFL campaigns. While Brown has been vocal about his desire to be more involved in the Eagles' offense at times throughout his tenure in Philadelphia, Brown's on-field production has been very consistent. In 2025, Brown notched his fourth straight season with at least 1,000 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Whether in Philadelphia or elsewhere, Brown will be a desired player in fantasy circles. If a trade sends him to a team with a more pass-friendly environment, Brown could get back into the fantasy WR1 conversation in the upcoming season.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown's future with the club remains in question, although the team has not engaged in any trade talks involving him, according to multiple sources. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo added that the Eagles have only had brief talks with Brown's camp recently.
Huddle Up: Despite a slow start to the 2025 campaign, the 28-year-old Brown finished the season with 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns, marking the sixth time in his seven-year career that he eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards. It still wouldn't be a surprise to see Brown suiting up for a different team in 2026 if the Eagles have decided that his presence on the roster would be more of a distraction than an asset.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown had five games in 2025 when he failed to catch a pass in the second half.
Huddle Up: Brown's sporadic production was a nightmare for fantasy owners, and while he still ended up topping 1,000 receiving yards, he was a boom-or-bust option all season. Brown still possesses WR1 upside, but a lack of consistency could remain an issue if he is back in Philadelphia in 2026.
