AJ Brown’s production is fully back. He has six red-zone targets over his last three games, with at least one in each. The offense hasn’t been lighting up the scoreboard, but Brown was one of the most heavily targeted players last week with 12 looks, converting them into 10 catches and two touchdowns — giving him three scores over his last two games. He was +155 to score last week, and instead of adjusting his number down, the market has gone the other way. Now he gets an indoor matchup with an offense looking to respond after a holiday letdown. His fair price should be around +150.
The Eagles offense is sputtering, and fingers are pointing everywhere, including the press asking why Jalen Hurts isn’t running the ball as much. This offense is at its best when Hurts gets going on the ground and times are getting desperate. He’s had more than seven carries only once in the past eight games and has topped out at 33 rushing yards in that span. The Chargers zone heavy scheme isn’t allowing anything over the top and we could see Hurts forced to run with limited looks downfield. We’ve seen the Bolts give up gains on the ground to nimble QBs like Mahomes, Nix, Dart and Daniels. Projections for Hurts at 34 yards and higher with a ceiling of 42.
