Outlook A.J. Brown
Questionable Status and Flaring Injuries Cloud A.J. Brown's Miami Matchup
Brown is officially questionable after missing Thursday's practice due to a newly flared knee issue coupled with a lingering ankle injury. While he operates as New England's primary outside receiver with Romeo Doubs already sidelined on injured reserve, Brown admitted he is still pushing through pain following his earlier IR stint. Managers should check back frequently for updates on his game-day availability.
When active, Brown commands volume, though he has caught just six of 16 targets over his last two games. Our models project him for 4.3 receptions and 64 receiving yards (13.5 fantasy points). If cleared against the 1-5 Dolphins, his 80% start rate reflects low-end WR2 territory, but his physical limitations make him a volatile, risk-reward option.

Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon at Washington — Rising Target Share Creates PPR Flex Value
Lemon continues to claim a prominent role out of the slot for Philadelphia, having drawn 14 targets over his last two games. With starter Jalen Hurts out and receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks battling injuries, Lemon capitalized last week by catching seven passes for 67 yards and his first career touchdown from Tanner McKee.
Rostered in nearly 50% of leagues, Lemon is gaining trust, though his start rate sits at just 13%. Our models project him for about 32 receiving yards and four catches on nearly six targets (8.6 fantasy points). In a contest where the Eagles are road underdogs, his underneath volume positions him as a solid PPR flex play.
