The trade that the fantasy football community has been waiting for all offseason finally went through today. Star wide receiver AJ Brown has been traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots. Philadelphia will receive a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick for their WR1, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This is the second huge trade we saw on June 1.
Fantasy Impact
WR AJ Brown, New England Patriots
This gives Brown a huge boost in fantasy value. He goes from the run-heavy Eagles offense, with a quarterback whose greatest strength is his legs rather than his arm, to the Patriots, who feature a young, big-armed quarterback coming off an MVP-caliber season. We expect Brown's volume and big-play upside to see a significant boost in New England. He now has WR1 overall upside.
