I think Metcalf would dispute it.AJ’s stock value has skyrocketed over the past few weeks. What a gem he is turning out to be. After Jacobs, AJ has to be the undisputed 1.02 in dynasty leagues now.
Metcalf has been extremely impressive also, way better than I thought he was going to be, but I'd take AJ Brown before him in a rookie draft if it was held today.I think Metcalf would dispute it.
I don't blame you. All I was implying is that it is not "undisputed" that Brown is the 1.02.Metcalf has been extremely impressive also, way better than I thought he was going to be, but I'd take AJ Brown before him in a rookie draft if it was held today.
Actually, Brown outproduced his team mate, Metcalf, at Ole Miss.I think Metcalf would dispute it.
To be fair, New England is not a rookie friendly landing spot for a WR.I agree- prior to the nfl draft it was a debate between these 2 and Harry. Metcalf looks like a hit and has stayed healthy. Harry has been out performed by other rookies and FAs and has even prompted NE to go out and desperately search for WRs.
I would prefer Brown as well to any wr in that class
If Tannehill was on TEN in 2018 and had the kind of success he is having today, I think Brown would have been the undisputed 1.02, maybe 1.01 as Jacob's had some questionmarks.
If a rookie re-draft were held today it would be close between him and Metcalf, probably Brown in most cases, for 1.02
TEN was worse 6 months agoTo be fair, New England is not a rookie friendly landing spot for a WR.
Not so sure about that... Many WRs, including polished veterans, have struggled with the Pats offense and getting on the same page with Brady.TEN was worse 6 months ago
maybe. I'm pretty certain dynasty guys were salivating over Harry going to NE whereas Brown was pretty much sent to purgatory.Not so sure about that... Many WRs, including polished veterans, have struggled with the Pats offense and getting on the same page with Brady.
I had them Brown, Harry, Metcalf... if I recall, Metcalf had a surgical procedure late summer and there was some concern about his agility metrics and that he could be one trick pony. I have been pleasantly surprised by Metcalf and am still optimistic about Harry - although he'll have endure the Brady replacement. Who knows how that will go?maybe.

Harry was a common 1.02, whereas Brown was a late 1st/early 2nd round pick after being considered a potential 1.01 or 1.02
Harry's destination was a questionable one long term. I had the same ranking of those 3, however I had Metcalf lower and 3. I wanted to like him but just screamed David Boston gym rat and had some questionable injuries. He has proven me wrong so far as well.I had them Brown, Harry, Metcalf... if I recall, Metcalf had a surgical procedure late summer and there was some concern about his agility metrics and that he could be one trick pony.

I'll give credit where credit is due, but I dont see a post in here after he was drafted to TEN saying to keep him ranked high. If your faith didnt falter at all after he was drafted, bravo.I hate say I t.........

I certainly learned a valuable lesson regarding talent/scenario with him, and I'm happy I own him where I do.
Ignore all that Corey Davis chatter. I was ecstatic to get AJB at 8 in one league after keeping him ranked high despite landing spot. He’ll be starting for me this week in my championship. Although I did pass on him twice in another league to acquire 2020 firsts. Your overall point still stands though, he was dropped several spots by most people after landing in Tenn. Good to get one right for once.I can affirm that the Corey Davis excuse making is real and so easy to do for me. He was hurt most of his rookie year and had like 25% of his targets from Blaine Gabbert last year. And probably other 25% or so from a gimpy Mariota. And he still had ~900 yards. Very easy to justify that we haven’t had the chance to to witness anything but flashes of his true ability his first couple years.
Brown was my #2 wr predraft and I think I’m keeping him there despite still liking Corey Davis and the Titans passing game being underwhelming to say the least. Betting on talent finding its level here.
Lattimore is worrisome
Not loving the matchup this week. Saints defense has shut a lot of teams down. I don't think I can bench him though.
It's got me hedging a start or not. Saints D riding high right now. AJ Brown is a monster stud WR and is performing like the #1 rookie WR on a TEN team. Tough call - to start, or not to start. I guess it depends upon ones options. I'm seeing AJ Brown in the ranks of a WR 3/even 4 this week. For my teams he's in the conservation with Metcalf, Miller, Lockett, Woods, Sutton, and even Edelman.Would he shadow him in the slot?
After last two weeks I think you can only bench him for wr1 material. He'd be above all the guys you mentioned and indeed I am playing him over Miller.It's got me hedging a start or not.

One would also have to think that if Lattimore covers him he too will be up for the rookie challenge licking his chops.
At this stage in the season riding momentum and solid play prevails for me. I just don't see how I can sit this guy. He's now a target and Tannehill is playing well and very accurate.
I had him wayyyy down when they stuck with Mariota to start the year.I had AJB say wr1 predraft and my wr3 or 4 post draft- I'll have to dig up my rankings.
for the most part he was drafted hoping TEN found a qb
That's what I'm doing. Why risk a Lattimore shutdown? I'm not playing Tannehill either.Really debating playing perriman over him this week, i just don’t love his matchup and who else is going to get those Winston targets. Am I thinking crazy!? Somebody slap some sense into me!
I totally agree with you for FF.oddsbodkins said:That's what I'm doing. Why risk a Lattimore shutdown? I'm not playing Tannehill either.
If you started him you're braver than I am and lucky. Lattimore had him shut down but he salvaged his day with that run.A.J. Brown caught 1-of-2 targets for 34 yards and rushed for a 49-yard touchdown in the Titans' Week 16 loss to the Saints.
Brown was draped in Marshon Lattimore's coverage much of the afternoon and wasn't even targeted until deep into the fourth quarter, making an over-the-shoulder catch for his lone grab. Earlier in the game, Brown took a hand-off and rumbled through the defense for his rushing score. Nobody wants to tackle this guy in the open field. He'll be a high-ceiling WR3 next week at Houston after going 8-114-1 against the Texans in Week 15.
Good callI totally agree with you for FF.
The CB hasn't seemed to matter yet in his career. (Year 2 could be different but...) If a CB is all over him and can't be shook, he uses his strength to muscle the guy. Still...I wouldn't start him in a championship game. He's had great games, he's not a stud yet. You've gotta have other options.
For DFS, Tajae or Jonnu could be the guy to take a chance on
Good luck with that.I'll be trying to acquire AJ Brown in the off-season where I can.
Dude looked electric.
Sometimes you overpay on perceived value if you're certain of the talent.Good luck with that.
what you perceive as an overpay wont get it done in most casesSometimes you overpay on perceived value if you're certain of the talent.
Doesn't exactly answer your question but he's firmly in my top10 dynasty WR's nowWhere does this guy rank in keeper formats for next year?
Me too and I feel exactly the same wayI have him in Dyno and really have no idea what it would take to pry him away
Brown hit a top speed of 20.4 mph on the run, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. It is his seventh play of the season of at least 45 yards, breaking a tie with the Chargers' Mike Williams and the Vikings' Stefon Diggs for the most such plays in the NFL this season, according the ESPN Stats & Information. It is the longest run by a Titans/Oilers receiver since Billy "White Shoes" Johnson in 1977, the Elias Sports Bureau confirmed.
Exactly. A non-owner probably thinks an overpay would be a first and a high end WR2. When reality is that's maybe halfway there.what you perceive as an overpay wont get it done in most cases
