A.J. Brown Week 20 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Jan 15th 2020, 12:35pm EST

Brown has only one more target (4) than Derrick Henry (3) in their two playoff games. And Henry has more receiving yards than Brown in those games (29 to 13), too. When you don't see a Titans pass-catcher with more than three targets in either playoff game, you can't feel confident starting them in your cash games, especially knowing this is the easiest matchup Henry will have had. Not just that, but the last time the Titans played the Chiefs, Brown had what was one of his worst games of the season, catching just one pass for 17 yards. He's going to see Charvarius Ward, the Chiefs' best cornerback for most of the season, in coverage most of the time. Ward allowed just a 47.6 percent catch-rate in his coverage, though he was prone to getting beat deep at times, allowing a rather-high 15.9 yards per reception. He's also coming off what might have been his worst game all year, as he allowed five catches on nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in his coverage against the Texans. Look, the Titans are going to ride Henry as long as they can, which may not be very long if the Chiefs' offense picks up where they left off last week. If the Titans are forced to throw 30-plus attempts, like almost everyone does against the Chiefs, Brown is going to be a much bigger part of the offense. But again, you cannot predict game script (as the entirety of the playoffs has shown us), which means you cannot use him confidently in cash, though DraftKings did lower his salary enough to at least consider him as a value option with upside.
