Article text

Summer is the best time to evaluate dynasty assets and their place in the dynasty market. In this series, we will bring you a riser, faller, and longshot from each NFL team. We’ll cover dynasty values, potential trades, and overall team outlooks. Let’s jump into the New England Patriots! Riser: AJ Brown , WR The Patriots might have made the Super Bowl last season, but they did it with one of the worst wide receiver rooms in the NFL. While Stefon Diggs served well as the WR1, with 1,143 receiving yards and five touchdowns, not a single further receiver caught more than 54 passes. Drake Maye was able to elevate the room beyond its means, but there were significant improvements needed this off-season. It’s impossible in the long run to continue to make deep playoff runs with Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas as your top receivers. Depth Chart courtesy of 4for4.com . Thankfully, the Patriots made a big splash at wide receiver, trading for maybe the best weapon available on the market in the Philadelphia Eagles' top receiver, AJ Brown. Brown might have been coming off what felt like a down year, but he still finished as the .5PPR WR14. Brown has been dominant since leaving Tennessee in 2021, finishing at WR 5, 7, 18 and 14 in his time in Philadelphia. Now, he lands on an empty depth chart with an easy path to volume - something he could never quite get with the Eagles due to the emergence of DeVonta Smith , the running game-focused offense, and Jalen Hurts ’ deficiencies as a quarterback.
