Availability
A.J. Brown (ankle) is expected to miss at least six weeks for the New England Patriots according to Ian Rapoport.
Fantasy Impact
Brown was placed on injured reserve after suffering the ankle injury in New England’s Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday night, leaving head coach Mike Vrable without his top pass-catching option for the foreseeable future. In the wideout’s absence Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs, and DeMario Douglas will need to step up for quarterback Drake Maye early in the season.
A.J. Brown (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve by the New England Patriots according to Adam Schefter.
Fantasy Impact
A.J. Brown (ankle) is expected to miss at least four weeks with a high ankle sprain that he sustained early in the third quarter of the Patriots game against the Seahawks on Wednesday night.
Fantasy Impact
It’s a big blow to Brown’s Fantasy stock to start the season. In his absence, expect Hunter Henry and Romeo Doubs to see more work. However, with Doubs was struggling to find snaps and catch the ball, it’s possible that Demario Douglas could be a nice PPR sleeper.
A.J. Brown (ankle) is believed to have suffered a high ankle sprain in last nights game against the Seahawks. He will have an MRI today to determine the extent of the injury and how much time he will miss.
Fantasy Impact
It’s a tough start to Browns Patriot tenure. He went down early in the third quarter and did not return, leaving Drake Maye to lean on Hunter Henry, Demario Douglas, and Mack Hollins with fellow newcomer Romeo Doubs struggling to catch anything. Doubs should bounce back, and if Brown is out for any period of time, expect Doubs and Henry to have some more fantasy appeal, with Douglas as a PPR dart throw in deep formats.
A.J. Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of the Patriots game against Seattle.
Fantasy Impact
Brown went down in the second half after a Seattle DB landed on his ankle, and Brown went back to the locker room soon after for x-rays. The Patriots will lean on Romeo Doubs, Pop Douglas, and Hunter Henry in the passing game with him out.
