From the article

The last time A.J. Brown had a top-tier quarterback and a role he was happy in, he went for nearly 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns. He's now paired with the reigning MVP runner-up, who led the league in completion percentage, yards per attempt, and passer rating while throwing to a middling receiving corps. New England was fifth in red-zone trips last season, but 17th in converting them, and A.J. Brown is the fix. His floor is a 1,000-yard season, and his ceiling is the overall WR1.

Brown's WR1 ceiling with elite QB and red-zone opportunity; motivated in prime.

A.J. Brown is now paired with the reigning MVP runner-up (Drake Maye), who led the league in completion percentage, yards per attempt, and passer rating while throwing to a middling receiving corps. The last time Brown had a top-tier quarterback and a role he was happy in, he went for nearly 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns. New England was fifth in red-zone trips last season but 17th in converting them, and Brown is the fix. His floor is a 1,000-yard season, and his ceiling is the overall WR1. The tougher schedule for the Patriots might even aid the Maye-Brown connection with more pressure to score and catch-up moments.
