The Philadelphia Eagles will visit the Washington Commanders in Week 16. 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 16?
Philadelphia blew out the Raiders and benched their regulars in the fourth quarter of a game where AJ Brown didn’t record a catch in the first half.
If that was all you knew about Week 15, you’d feel blessed to see 12.1 PPR points in your box score.
The Eagles simply weren’t pushed. On the few occasions where they elected to be aggressive, they delivered and that allowed Brown to get into your boxscore with a 27-yard TD.
From the glass-is-half-full department, Brown’s average touchdown length has been over 21 yards every season of his career and 2025 is no different. His 62.7% catch rate is far from ideal and is a result of his aDOT being as high as it’s been since his rookie season.
That said, he torched these Commanders last season (8-97-1 in the December meeting and 6-96-1 in the NFC Title game) and thanks to the impact he can make in your matchup via a single play, he’s a lineup lock.
The range of outcomes is just something you have to deal with.
