A.J. Brown caught three passes for 48 yards on six targets in the New England Patriots' loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 7. Returning from injured reserve, Brown's performance was disappointing, following a previous outing of three receptions for 27 yards against the New Orleans Saints. The Patriots acquired Brown with high expectations, but his ongoing difficulties raise concerns about his recovery from a high-ankle sprain and fit within the team's offense. As the Patriots prepare to face the Miami Dolphins next, fantasy owners are weighing their options for Week 8.
