Patriots WR A.J. Brown expected to miss at least four weeks

Ian Rapoport

Sep 11 · 8:23 AM EDT

An MRI confirmed that A.J. Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain during Wednesday night’s loss to Seattle, and is expected to miss at least four weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown should miss multiple games and can be moved to an injured-reserve spot where available. Williams is expected to receive more work as New England’s primary X receiver, while Hollins should remain heavily involved. Doubs and Douglas are the more established fantasy options, but this could become a dispersed target tree rather than producing one direct replacement. Henry should also remain prominent after avoiding a significant injury of his own Wednesday.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown believed to have suffered high-ankle sprain

Patriots WR A.J. Brown, who left last night’s opener because of an injury, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, per me and @MikeGarafolo.

X-Rays were negative for a fracture. Brown has an MRI today to determine how much time he’ll miss.

Fantasy Impact:

High-ankle sprains frequently produce multi-game absences, although Brown’s precise timetable remains unconfirmed. New England has a helpful 10-day break before hosting Pittsburgh on Sept. 20.

Doubs should presumably receive the cleanest target increase despite his shaky Week 1, while Hollins and Williams are the most direct candidates to replace Brown’s perimeter snaps. Henry could also benefit from additional intermediate targets.

Solak: Dontayvion Wicks is the Eagles’ clear WR2

Ben Solak

Sep 04 · 10:43 AM EDT

ESPN’s Ben Solak considers Wicks the clear No. 2 wide receiver in Philadelphia following A.J. Brown’s departure.

Wicks never climbed higher than fourth on Green Bay’s depth chart, but Solak believes he now has an opportunity to provide the consistent veteran presence the Eagles lost this offseason.

Related Players: DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore

Fantasy Impact:

Solak’s characterization is notable because it differs significantly from our current ordering of Philadelphia’s receivers. Wicks has never commanded a substantial NFL role, but being the clear second receiver would give him far more sleeper appeal than his current ranking suggests. Because this is Solak’s assessment rather than a role confirmed by the Eagles, Week 1 usage will matter before making a substantial adjustment. Lemon's role in the offense may end up taking a little while to flesh out.

NOTES: Mike Vrabel - "Line of scrimmage has to be where we begin our identity"...OLB DreMont Jones - "Rejuvenating" in NE...WR A.J. Brown full participant after left thumb dislocation.

Fantasy Impact:

Looks as though the thumb will be a non-issue moving forward, but we'll keep an eye on things to see if any discomfort bothers him. Brown is currently locked in the mid-range WR1 conversation.
