A.J. Brown - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will start his first regular season game as an Eagle on the road against the Detroit Lions. The matchup for the fourth-year receiver couldn't be better on paper. Brown will see a lot of the Lions starting CB Jeff Okudah. The third-year corner has played in only 10 games in his career, as he has been sidelined most of the last two seasons due to injury. Okudah has recorded only three passes defended during those games, with one interception. Brown's target share should be plentiful, even if Philadelphia elects to run the ball at as high a rate as they did down the stretch last season. Brown is a borderline WR1 for fantasy during the regular season opener.
