Last year, AJ Brown finished the season as the wide receiver five overall in fantasy football, but it really was a tale of two seasons. He went on an unbelievable hot streak with six straight games over 125 yards receiving. Through the first 10 weeks of the season, he was the wide receiver two overall and only trailed Tyreek Hill over that span. But from week 11 on, he was the wide receiver 32 overall and was outscored by the likes of Demarcus Robinson.
His start to the season was just so good he finished so high overall on the year at wide receiver five. He had six games of at least 100 yards receiving in the first eight weeks of the year; however, he only had one 100-yard game in his last nine games played, really hurting a lot of people in the fantasy playoffs. But one-third of his season-long scoring came in just three games.
This offense still has a lot of weapons. They added Saquon Barkley. He's going to be super expensive on draft day as AJ Brown is estimated as a late first-round pick. And honestly, I really don't see how things are going to be much different for him this year. At the end of the year, he's going to have hit his yards, he's going to put up a bunch of points, but they're going to come in bunches. He isn't the safest first-round wide receiver, but his weekly upside is matchup-winning.
