Mike Wright urged drafters to temper expectations on A.J. Brown, ranking him outside his usual top‑tier at WR9. Wright argued the Eagles’ offense has fundamentally shifted with Saquon Barkley in town, reducing the need for Brown’s weekly 90‑yard outbursts. He highlighted several 2024 box scores where Philadelphia scored 40‑plus while Brown managed 36 or 43 yards, evidence the team can win without forcing him the ball. Brown’s weekly volatility—four games under 10 PPR points and a 4.6‑point dud—now comes without the 1,500‑yard, 11‑TD ceiling that buoyed him in 2022. Wright prefers upside swings like Drake London in the same draft range, warning that Brown is likely to post four to five "why did I start him?" weeks and should be viewed as a back‑end WR1 rather than a league‑winner.
