Ok, let's start this off with A.J. Brown isn't fully healthy. I don't care what New England says. Brown doesn't pass the eye test. Since his return to the lineup, he has been the WR60 and WR35 in weekly scoring. In those two games, Brown had a 23.8% target share, 1.17 YPRR, three red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 39.5% first-read share. Maybe this is the breakout game, but I worry about that actually happening in Week 8.

Brown (not fully healthy) is WR60–WR35 since return; wide range of outcomes.

A.J. Brown isn't fully healthy despite what New England says; he doesn't pass the eye test. Since his return to the lineup, he has been the WR60 and WR35 in weekly scoring. In those two games, Brown had a 23.8% target share, 1.17 YPRR, three red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 39.5% first-read share. The source worries about a breakout game actually happening in Week 8. Miami has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and the 11th-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers, but Brown has a wide range of outcomes this week.
