Despite stalled talks, the Patriots remain the primary destination for A.J. Brown, with defacto GM Eliot Wolf now refusing to shut the door on a blockbuster move for Philadelphia’s alpha wideout. A post-June 1 trade appears the most likely window for a deal, providing Drake Maye with a legitimate WR1 and instantly solidifying Brown’s status as a high-volume anchor receiver for fantasy football.

This the most critical roster situation to monitor before NFL training camp begins. Brown joining the New England offense would created more dynasty value than it costs. Brown, Maye and DeVonta Smith would surge at the expense of Jalen Hurts and the newly signed Romeo Doubs.
