Wide receiver A. J. Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for a game against the New York Giants on Sunday. However, they are also preparing for the possibility that Brown will not be in the lineup. Brown appeared on the injury report on Wednesday as a DNP at practice. He is reportedly dealing with a hamstring injury. Here is everything you need to know about Brown, his status this week, and the implications for fantasy football.
What Happened to A. J. Brown?
It is unclear what happened to A. J. Brown. He had his best performance of the season on Sunday against Minnesota, making four catches for 121 yards and two TDs.

However, on Wednesday, he appeared on the injury report as a DNP. It is possible that this is a precautionary move. Fantasy owners likely do not need to worry unless he continues to sit out of practice on Thursday and Friday. He has dealt with hamstring issues for much of his career, so it is possible that the coaching staff just rested him on Wednesday to be cautious.
Will A. J. Brown Play This Week?
Brown is currently listed as questionable on the injury report. However, that is subject to change based on his appearances at practice on Thursday and Friday. If he makes an appearance on either day as a full participant, fans should expect him to suit up against the Giants.
A. J. Brown Fantasy Outlook
A. J. Brown started the season as one of the top wide receiver options in fantasy football. However, his usage has been much lower this year than it was last season and earlier in his career. He only has two games where he has at least 100 receiving yards. He has three TDs, and two of them came in the most recent game.
As things stand, Brown is still someone who should be in your starting lineup if he is healthy. It is unlikely that you have another wide receiver better than him unless you have the best WR depth in your league. However, he is someone who needs to be monitored closely because of his health and usage rate.
