Eagles' A.J. Brown: Third straight 100-yard effort
Rotowire
Brown finished with six receptions on 13 targets for 100 yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Brown paced the Eagles in targets and receiving production on Monday Night Football while posting his third 100-yard game in a row. The normally sure-handed receiver did leave some fantasy points on the table after committing drops on passes that hit him in the hands. One occurred on a beautifully-placed ball in the end zone, while a later drop directly resulted in one of QB Jalen Hurts' four interceptions in the overtime loss. After falling out of favor at times earlier in the schedule, Brown has garnered double-digit targets in four consecutive contests. The once disgruntled superstar is rounding into form just in time for the fantasy playoffs with a soft matchup against the Raiders on tap for Sunday.
Brown recorded 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.
Brown was one of the few bright spots in an Eagles offense that otherwise looked stagnant again. He accounted for both of the team's touchdowns with scores from 33 and four yards away, marking his second consecutive game reaching the end zone. Brown chipped in four additional receptions of at least 15 yards to top the century mark for the second straight matchup. While it's still been a disappointing season overall from Brown, he appears to have overtaken DeVonta Smith as Jalen Hurts' favorite target for the time being.
