The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR A.J. Brown.

Should You Start or Sit Brown in Week 13?
A.J. Brown has 15 catches on 21 targets over the past two weeks as the greasy wheel has gotten some grease. He scored on the first drive (his first end zone target since Week 3) and it looked like everything would fall into place, but the Eagles offense was quiet after the first stanza and that resulted in a frustrating loss to an overmatched divisional opponent.
Philadelphia fans aren’t happy with the result, but managers Brown have to like the direction things are trending. The deep targets are a part of his game and bring about his upside, but the fact that he has multiple catches behind the line of scrimmage in three straight games speaks to a dedication to getting him involved.
Tee Higgins, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Chris Olave are among the heavily involved receivers that have faced, and torched, the Bears this season, a trajectory that Brown could follow should the Eagles elect to prioritize that pass (those receivers all cleared 26 PPR points).
Given how up-and-down this offense has been, I don’t think you really have to worry about game state. Philadelphia just blew a 21-0 lead against their most hated opponent, something that, to me at least, hints that they will have their foot on the gas for 60 minutes of every game for the remainder of the season.
