A.J. Brown Week 3 Outlook - Rams at Eagles

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 18th 2025, 1:05pm EDT

Well, A.J. Brown had a better Week 2 performance than he did to open the season, but it still wasn't great for fantasy. He was the WR67 for the week despite ranking third in separation and first in route win rate among 107 qualifying wide receivers. This means that better days should be ahead for Brown, though. In Week 2, Brown had a 36.4% target share, a 37.6% air-yard share, and a 43.8% first-read share while finishing with only 27 receiving yards (1.23 yards per route run). The Rams have the highest single high rate in the NFL (70.7%). Last year, against single high, Brown had a 36% target share, 3.94 yards per route run, and a 46.6% first-read share. With Akhello Witherspoon out, Brown will match up against Emmanuel Forbes (80% catch rate and 147.1 passer rating allowed) and Darius Williams (2024: 60.9% catch rate and 89.3 passer rating allowed) all day. I'm not worried about Brown winning those matchups.
