Brown (teeth) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against Buffalo.
Brown had his wisdom teeth removed earlier this week, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but he's now resumed practicing without limitations after having been listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. The star wideout looks on track to handle his usual role as one of Philadelphia's top playmakers on offense during Sunday's key showdown against the 11-4 Bills. Across his last five regular-season appearances, Brown is averaging seven catches for 95.6 receiving yards per game, with four scores in that span.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Back at practice Friday
Rotowire
Brown (teeth) is participating in the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Brown was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's encouraging to now see him back on the field in at least a limited capacity. The star wideout is recovering from a dental procedure undergone earlier this week, but he seems to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's showdown against the Bills. The release of Friday's official practice report will reveal whether Brown is assigned an injury designation for Week 17.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Listed as DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (teeth) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.
Brown underwent a dental procedure this week and now has been listed as a 'DNP' on both the Eagles' first two Week 17 injury reports. He thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Buffalo. Brown has been productive over the last five contests, with a cumulative 35-478-4 line on 49 targets during that span.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (teeth) didn't practice Wednesday.
Brown was listed with teeth on the Eagles' first Week 17 injury report, so he likely underwent some sort of dental procedure Wednesday. He'll have two more chances to mix into drills this week, or else he'll be at risk of carrying a designation into the weekend for Sunday's game at Buffalo. Brown has reeled off a 44-540-4 line on 63 targets in seven contests since Philadelphia's Week 9 bye.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Gets into end zone Sunday
Rotowire
Brown brought in both targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Brown was a non-factor for most of the afternoon, but the talented wideout made his presence felt with 14- and 27-yard grabs, the latter a scoring reception on the first play of the fourth quarter. Brown saw a three-game streak of 100-yard efforts snapped and posted his lowest catch total since Week 10, but he's now scored four times in the last three games heading into a Week 16 road matchup against a beatable Commanders secondary on Saturday afternoon.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Third straight 100-yard effort
Rotowire
Brown finished with six receptions on 13 targets for 100 yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Brown paced the Eagles in targets and receiving production on Monday Night Football while posting his third 100-yard game in a row. The normally sure-handed receiver did leave some fantasy points on the table after committing drops on passes that hit him in the hands. One occurred on a beautifully-placed ball in the end zone, while a later drop directly resulted in one of QB Jalen Hurts' four interceptions in the overtime loss. After falling out of favor at times earlier in the schedule, Brown has garnered double-digit targets in four consecutive contests. The once disgruntled superstar is rounding into form just in time for the fantasy playoffs with a soft matchup against the Raiders on tap for Sunday.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Big game against Bears
Rotowire
Brown recorded 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.
Brown was one of the few bright spots in an Eagles offense that otherwise looked stagnant again. He accounted for both of the team's touchdowns with scores from 33 and four yards away, marking his second consecutive game reaching the end zone. Brown chipped in four additional receptions of at least 15 yards to top the century mark for the second straight matchup. While it's still been a disappointing season overall from Brown, he appears to have overtaken DeVonta Smith as Jalen Hurts' favorite target for the time being.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Looks good in loss
Rotowire
Brown recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Brown was a key to the Eagles' hot start on offense, as he posted five receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown combined across the team's first two drives. While he slowed significantly from that pace, Brown still managed to top 100 receiving yards for the third time this season while also recording his first catch of at least 20 yards since Week 7. Philadelphia's passing attack looks likely to remain inconsistent, though a Week 13 matchup against the Bears should present Brown with another opportunity for a solid performance.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Garners 11 targets on SNF
Rotowire
Brown finished with seven receptions on 11 targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over Detroit.
Brown certainly was not devoid of targets in the primetime victory, pacing his team with six more looks than the next-highest receiver. Blustering winds in Philadelphia prevented many deep shots from being taken on Sunday Night Football, which put a cap on the star wideout's fantasy score outside of PPR formats. Brown has been vocal about his lack of involvement at times this year, so the season-high 11 targets should help ease the thoughts of concerned managers heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Full practice following bye
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.
Brown sat out the Eagles' last game Week 8 versus the Giants due to a hamstring injury, but after the team's Week 9 bye, he was back on the practice field without limitations and thus will be available for Monday's visit to Green Bay. In the two games prior to the aforementioned DNP, Brown totaled 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 201 yards and two touchdowns.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Has chance to return in Week 10
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, could return to action Nov. 10 in Green Bay following the Eagles' Week 9 bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Brown wasn't able to practice at all this week due to a hamstring issue. Such injuries often require a multi-week absence, but Brown has the advantage of Philadelphia's upcoming bye -- as well as an extra day off in Week 10, as the Eagles play Monday night -- to try to get healthy and avoid missing additional time. In separate news, Schefter reported Saturday that Philadelphia is unlikely to move Brown ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline, despite the wideout having drawn heavy interest from teams around the league.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Ruled out for Week 8
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Reports earlier this week suggested Brown's hamstring injury wasn't serious, but he never ended up practicing and now will miss the final game before a Week 9 bye. Jahan Dotson and John Metchie figure to take on the vacated snaps at wide receiver, with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert getting sizable boosts in target-share projection.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Not practicing Friday
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
A third straight missed practice is bad news for Brown and his fantasy managers, although Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said earlier Friday that the wideout doesn't need to practice this week in order to play in Sunday's game against the Giants. Brown did work out on the side Thursday while his teammates practiced, with Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer suggesting that the wideout was on track to play Sunday. A third missed practice may have changed that expectation, with Brown now highly likely to have a game designation on the final injury report later Friday.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Could play without practicing
Rotowire
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that Brown (hamstring) does not necessarily need to practice this week in order to play in Sunday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Sirianni didn't say if Brown will return to practice Friday after missing the previous two days. Reports on Thursday suggested Brown is still expected to play this week, but another absence Friday might change that thinking, despite what Sirianni said about Brown being able to play without practicing.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: No practice again Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Brown now has missed the first two practices of Week 8 prep due to a hamstring injury, but he was spotted working out on the side during Thursday's session, per Bob Brookover of NJ.com. There's an expectation that Brown will be able to suit up Sunday against the Giants, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not the wideout enters the weekend with a designation for that contest.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: On track to play this week
Rotowire
Brown missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, but he's on track to play this Sunday against the Giants, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
A return to practice Thursday would support the notion that Brown's hamstring injury is minor. There was no sign of trouble in Sunday's win at Minnesota, with Brown catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns while playing 92 percent of snaps and handling a 100 percent route share.

Brown missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
It's the first time this season he's missed practice due to an injury. There was no sign of trouble in Sunday's win at Minnesota, with Brown catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns while playing 92 percent of offensive snaps and handling a 100 percent route share.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Stands out in Week 7 win
Rotowire
Brown brought in four of six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' 28-22 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Brown saw DeVonta Smith put together a spectacular 9-183-1 line on 11 targets to pace Philadelphia's air attack, but the former contributed on a markedly more efficient basis by recording grabs of 37, 26, 13 and 45 yards. The first two of those receptions went for touchdowns in the first and fourth quarter, respectively, while the final one came on third down with less than two minutes remaining and allowed the Eagles to run out the clock. Brown has between six and 10 targets over his last six games, and he's come alive in the last pair of contests with a 10-201-2 line in that span. Brown and the Eagles will be looking for a bit of revenge Week 8, as a Giants team they just lost to in Week 6 pays a visit to Philadelphia next Sunday afternoon.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Solid showing in upset loss
Rotowire
Brown brought in six of nine targets for 80 yards in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.
Brown finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Dallas Goedert for the Eagles on the night, tying a season high in catches as well. Brown also recorded his first catch of 20-plus yards since Week 3, and he extended his streak of games with at least eight targets to five contests. He has at least five receptions in four of the last five games, so, despite all the talk about his reduced role in the offense, the star wideout remains an integral figure in Philadelphia's air attack heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Brown was unhappy following Week 4 against Tampa Bay when he caught two passes for 7 yards, but he had nine targets. He can't say the Eagles didn't try to get him the ball, and he has 19 targets in his past two games against the Rams and Buccaneers. For the season, Brown only has one game with more than 7.7 PPR points, and it's hard to expect a standout performance in Week 5 against the Broncos, where he will likely see a lot of Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II. I'm still starting Brown in three-receiver leagues, but this is a terrible matchup for him against this defense.
