What does this mean for fantasy leagues? For years we have been waiting for Zach Ertz to finally leave town and then comes along AJ Brown to squash our dreams or does it?
Brown has played 3 years in the league and his target totals per year have been 84, 106, 105 while playing 16, 14 and 13 games.
Targets per WR rank by year 30th, 30th and 46th.
Im here to say that I believe there is a world where AJ Brown helps unlock some potential in the Eagles offense and a rising tide raises all boats INSTEAD of him being a road block to fantasy production.
Last year teams were probably focusing on Goedert as the main guy to take away. Maybe that focus shifts to Brown and Goedert operates underneath more like Kelce has with Hill all this years. (Realize way different QBs)
My overall point. Its possible the eagles offense takes a step forward and Brown isnt quite the target hog we think he is and Goedert maintains his connection with the QB surprising us by seasons end.
Or maybe we just got c*ck blocked again. Thats half the fun of fantasy. Seeing what happens.
