Expert
Derek Brown FantasyPros	A.J. Brown has a new home in New England for the foreseeable future. Brown has been a WR1 in fantasy points per game over the last four seasons (WR10, WR12, WR8, WR8), and I don't see that stopping this season. Brown moves from an Eagles offense that was 15th in neutral passing rate to a Patriots' system that was ninth in neutral passing rate and could climb even higher this season with the additions of Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason. Brown could easily spike a career high in touchdowns this season. Last season, Philly was 32nd in passing rate inside the ten-yard line while the Patriots were 15th. That jump in touchdown fuel (if it all works out) could send him into top five status this season among fantasy receivers. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Brown was ninth in target share (27.5%), 17th in yards per route run (2.23), eighth in first-read share (35%), and 20th in first downs per route run (0.104, per Fantasy Points Data). Brown was also 30th in separation score and 16th in route win rate among the same sample of receivers. While many will worry about Drake Maye spreading the ball around in 2026, I'm not because last year that was related to New England not having an alpha-level receiver like Brown on the depth chart. That isn't the case now. Brown is a strong WR1 with more upside than he's had in previous seasons because of the passing volume floor and ceiling for New England this year.
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	A.J. Brown remains one of the NFL's premier alpha receivers despite a frustrating 2025 season in Philadelphia (WR11 PPG). After being traded to New England, Brown should immediately command massive volume and reclaim high-end WR1 upside, with an ascending quarterback in Drake Maye. Even in a down year, Brown still posted elite target share numbers and remained highly productive on a per-game basis. With him on a pass-heavy offense that is willing to feature him as the focal point, a major fantasy bounce-back and WR1 szn is LOADING for AJB.	Don't hold the OL injuries against the Chargers' skill players. Ladd McConkey specifically. The Chargers' WR failed to live up to his expectations from his rookie season, as Keenan Allen's presence capped his target/production ceiling. The 33-year-old WR LED the Chargers in targets under OC Greg Roman (hyper-targeted on third downs). But with Roman replaced by Mike McDaniel, we should expect McConkey to finish closer to his rookie season, when he averaged 2.6 YPRR. McDaniel knows how to deploy his WRs to achieve peak efficiency both for real-life and fantasy purposes.
