A.J. Brown Trending Toward Return vs Jets — High Ceiling but Inherent Risk in Week 6

After being sidelined since Week 1 with a high-ankle sprain, Brown is trending toward being activated off injured reserve for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. He logged limited practices throughout the week and is slated to immediately re-enter New England's passing attack as Drake Maye's primary wideout, though managers should check back to ensure he is officially active before kickoff.

Our weekly projections currently sit at 0 fantasy points pending his official roster move, which explains why his start rate sits near just 10%. While his talent provides immediate scoring upside, the risk of a limited snap count in his first game back makes him a risky, matchup-dependent flex option rather than a locked-in starter.

Ryan Flournoy at Green Bay — Sneaky Slot Upside in a High-Scoring Matchup

Operating as Dallas' primary slot receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Flournoy enters Week 6 healthy after an explosive 90-yard performance against Tampa Bay. Over his past two outings, he has earned nine targets and hauled in seven receptions, showing growing trust within the offense.

Sunday night's matchup against the Packers features a lofty 53-point total, offering plenty of scoring upside. Our weekly models project him for approximately 3 catches on 5 targets for 38 yards (7.8 fantasy points). While his roster rate has ticked up to 13%, he remains best viewed as a deep-league play or speculative flex dart throw in shootout game scripts.
