A.J. Brown stays Philadelphia’s centerpiece; offseason trade chatter vanished as Howie Roseman shut it down. Brown’s value hinges on his target share and Hurts’ connection.

Houston and Las Vegas were floated, but the champs remain reluctant to move their top WR; Brown’s contract runs through 2029, with an out after 2026, keeping him in Philly.

If Brown remains a 2nd/3rd option, chatter could flare again before the deadline; for now, Brown’s role supports Hurts and boosts fantasy upside.

Packers D/ST stands out in Weeks 3-6 as a top streaming option, with Week 3 vs Browns a clear smash. The guide divides defenses into Temporary, Part-Time, Recruit, and Fool's Gold, and stresses rostering under 50% of ESPN leagues to seize rising value.

Key plays: Colts vs Titans, Chiefs vs Giants, Raiders vs Commanders in Week 3, Chargers vs Giants and 49ers vs Jaguars as Week 4 recruits, and Packers vs Bengals in Week 6. A four-week action plan maps starts and waiver leverage to maximize defensive points.
