WR A.J. Brown, PHI (2 Viewers)

I was planning on starting both him and Jefferson on Sunday night. But, now I'll probably leave Jefferson on my bench as a hedge.

In a similar boat..I'm considering benching Diontae Johnson for Courtland Sutton, so I have DJ to swap in if needed.  Alternatively I could start Sutton over Goeddert (my current flex), and be able to swap AJ for Adrian Peterson in the flex spot.  ugh.

Not really my business, but I wouldn't bench Johnson, ever. I understand the logic, but I would imagine he should be a staple in your line-up (unless he's injured)

Yeah, I'm likely going the "bench goedert for sutton, and put in AP for AJ if needed" route.  

Another option is just roll with the lineup as-is, and pick up Westbrook-Ikhine.

Was pondering today if this is going to be the fate of AJ dynasty owners...is he going to be one of those big, fast, strong beastly WRs that always is dinged up.  sigh.

Sounds like AJ will play per several reporters....

...but who is the WR better cuff if he doesnt...

N W-I?  Chester?  Marcus?  Doesn't matter because its a dart throw to get probably 0-2 points?

I was leaning NWI, but not sure if he slips into the AJ spot or not.

this. I think it’s ride or die. I’m probably starting him and he plays or zero. No choice. Variance between him and others is too great. And reports say he plays so…

I swapped Ertz for Higbee at TE and have AJB in my flex.  At least now I can plug in Higbee if there are any last minute issues with AJB.

I picked up NWI to hedge my bets if it helps, although it looks good that Brown will play. 

 
A.J. Brown (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday. 

Brown likely suffered the injury late in practice last week as he wasn't listed with the issue until Friday. Despite the injury, he drew 11 targets in the Titans' win over the Rams. That came on just 27 pass attempts from Ryan Tannehill. His volume speaks for itself and Brown can be trusted as a high-end WR2 this week versus the Saints.

It’s really not AJ. This offense just took a huge step back without Henry. Of course, they did have to face difficult defenses so it could be better next couple of weeks but offense has barely done anything since Henry went down.

Don't know if it's the absence of Henry as much as the absence of last year's OC making the difference.

Losing Henry certainly didn't help anything (as he was just starting to look good), but he has bad before that too and only has had 2 good games all year.  A league loser for many of those who were unlucky enough to draft and start AJ every week so far this year.

It's week 10, the season is over half over.  When is it acceptable to start panicking?  Can't make an excuse every week.

Brown was a week winner in weeks 7-8. Its bad variance at a mostly inconsistent position. If Brown lays an egg against Houston, then I'll be worried. 

 
A.J. Brown (hand) returned to Tennessee's Week 11 game versus the Texans. 

He caught two balls on the Titans' second drive. He wound up missing about three snaps between a quick end to Tennessee's first drive and a long Texans drive. We'll keep you updated on the ever-shifting status of Brown's health should something change again.

Reminds me of David Boston.  Physically in a class by himself, but there’s always something holding him back

 
Dude plays soft for his size. Didn't realize how shell shocked Tannehill would be without Henry. Four ints against the Texans? Lmao

Can't start this guy with any confidence going forward 

 
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports A.J. Brown (chest) likely avoided a serious injury but will undergo further testing. 

X-rays didn't give the Titans reason for long-term concern so a long-term absence is unlikely. Brown was in and out of the Titans lineup with various injuries throughout the team's humiliating Week 11 loss to Houston. The oft-injured Brown has become the ultimate in-game injury risk, overtaking teammate Julio Jones for that unwanted title. Brown drafters should keep an eye on his practice status ahead of the Titans' Week 12 game against the Patriots.

Probably wouldn't be the worst idea for the Titans to sit Brown for a week, give him 2 weeks rest with the bye week, and get him healthy for the homestretch.

Blasphemy to fantasy owners everywhere (unless he’s really hurt then let us know so we can proceed intelligently)

 
My main re-draft league I took AJ Brown, Ridley, Deebo and J Chase as my top 4 drafted WRs. That really could’ve and should’ve been one of the all time great WR quartets of any re-draft team I’ve ever had and yet here we have Deebo and Chase propping it up. 
 

Hard to discern what has gone on here for Brown. I think it’s been different things as the season has progressed…

Titans/Tannehill started slow early season 

Brown rounded into some form 

Then Henry is lost for season 

Not one primary reason I feel

Someone ruined this guy.  Vrabel, their new OC, Tannehill, someone.  Will this person please meet me and my crew in the dark alley out back to discuss?  Ignore the bag of lead pipes, it's just for decoration.

Well football is pretty hard so there's that as well.....

Rest a week and hope the ribs heal because that #### hurts.  Still useful in the playoffs if healthy - and the Titans will need him so that may actually benefit him.

Lucky I picked up Mooney back in week 4 because he is ripening nicely.
