New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown's 15 receptions of 50-plus yards since the start of the 2019 season are tied for the most in the NFL.
Huddle Up: The Patriots acquired Brown to become the go-to receiver for Drake Maye, and he brings a track record of proven production. Brown has topped 1,000 yards and caught at least seven touchdowns in each of the past four seasons, and there is a good chance that streak continues in 2026. He will have WR1 upside as the focal point of the New England passing attack.

New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown said he has not been dealing with any knee injuries and is ready to take part in practice.
Huddle Up: Brown will be the main receiver for the Patriots this offseason and should see plenty of targets each game. He will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues and will likely be selected in the early round of drafts.

New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown is expected to practice Tuesday, June 2, one day after being acquired via trade, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
Huddle Up: Brown's inconsistency really plagued his fantasy value - especially early on last season. In a new offense that should feature him prominently, he'll be a great WR2 or possibly a low-end WR1.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown was traded to the New England Patriots Monday, June 1, in exchange for a 2028 first-round draft choice and a 2027 fifth-round draft choice, according to sources.
Huddle Up: DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon should be the starting receivers for the Eagles with Brown no longer on the roster. Smith has been a solid option since joining the Eagles and will be a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues. Lemon will be involved right away and has a chance to be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown was acquired by the New England Patriots Monday, June 1, in exchange for a 2028 first-round draft choice and a 2027 fifth-round draft choice, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Brown should be the Patriots main receiver this season and will see plenty of targets during games. He will be working with one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL and can be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is not close to being traded as the team is seeking a first-round pick in return, and teams aren't willing to meet the price.
Huddle Up: Brown finished as the WR11 in PPR leagues last season, but he did next to nothing in the first quarter of the season and really hamstrung people that took him as a WR1/WR2 type. He would benefit from a change of scenery, but a high-end WR2 is probably where his upside peaks.

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is someone that the New England Patriots hope that they can acquire in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, the Eagles are still seeking a first-round draft pick in any potential trade involving Brown.
Huddle Up: The Patriots remain the heavy favorite to acquire Brown this offseason, although a trade is unlikely to happen before June 1. If a deal is finalized, he would become the clear No. 1 receiving option in New England, especially since the position was not addressed in the draft and WR Stefon Diggs remains in free agency. For now, Brown can be viewed as a high-end WR2 option in most fantasy leagues, with the possibility of moving into the WR1 conversation if he winds up with the Patriots.

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) "would love" to re-sign with the New England Patriots this offseason but a deal with the team could be contingent on whether the Patriots are able to complete a trade for Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown, according to Albert Breer of SI.com.
Huddle Up: The 32-year-old Diggs had 85 catches for 1,013 receiving yards and four touchdowns with the AFC champions last season and should be viewed as a WR3 or WR4 option in most fantasy leagues regardless of where he lands.

Philadelphia Eagles A.J. Brown will likely be traded to the New England Patriots for a first-round draft pick when the trade "comes together" on June 1, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Huddle Up: "Neither side is committed to it, but both I believe are expected to make it happen ... It's not going to be hard to get done," Schefter reported. 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 Week 11-18, Brown averaged 18.6 fantasy points and was WR5 in that span. He's at least 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 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.
