A.J. Brown Week 17 Outlook - Cowboys at Eagles

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Dec 26th 2024, 9:32am EST

It was interesting to see Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown earn a season-high 15 targets in the same game in which Jalen Hurts exited after six minutes due to a concussion. Backup signal-caller Kenny Pickett certainly seemed to know where his bread was buttered upon entering the game. Pickett targeted Brown on over 60 percent of his passes. He also targeted DeVonta Smith seven times. While Pickett is certainly a downgrade from Hurts, fantasy managers will sign up for 15 targets every day of the week and twice on Sundays. It is unclear who Philadelphia's quarterback will be this week, but the matchup is favorable versus the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has given up the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this year and struggles in man coverage. That is Brown's forte, so expect a productive outing from Brown regardless of which quarterback starts on Sunday.
