Knee now "an afterthought" for Eagles' A.J. Brown

What It Means

According to Brown's trainer, Brown's MCL sprain is now "an afterthought" after the star receiver put in multiple weeks of training and rehab almost immediately after the conclusion of the season. By his own admission, Brown is now reportedly in the best shape of his life as NFL teams take their summer respites.

Brown has been among the most productive players in the league since joining the Eagles in a trade two seasons ago, with over 1,450 yards in each season and a combined 194 catches and 18 touchdowns. He has reportedly been putting in the work this offseason with his eyes set on earning his first first-team All-Pro nod.

If he can meet the stats numberFire's model projects him for, he should have another shot of reaching that goal. He's numberFire's WR7 for the upcoming fantasy season and is slated for 100 grabs on 162 targets, with 1,306 yards and 9 touchdowns. His +1300 odds to finish with the most regular season receiving yards are the fifth-shortest on FanDuel Sportsbook's Season Leaders Betting Odds market.
