Brown's elite usage and historical single-high dominance set up a bounce-back spot.

A.J. Brown returned to the huddle last week as New England's clear alpha with fantastic usage: 28.1% target share, 94.3% route share, three red zone targets, one deep target, and 42.9% first-read share. He had a rough day with four drops and only three receptions for 27 yards, but the source calls this a wonderful bounce-back spot. Chicago has the ninth-highest rate of single-high (56.1%). Against single-high, Brown has a 29% target-per-route run rate this season (1.0 YPRR small sample), but historically in 2023-2025 he had 35% TPRR and 3.53 YPRR against single-high. Chicago has allowed the most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.
