STM Take
Brown at STTM #10 tier 2 in 2025 (down from #3 tier 1 in 2024) reflects the post-championship hangover after the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX run. The 2025 game log has 25+ PPR weeks (Wk 13, Wk 12) and a 5.5-PPR finale, the kind of split that follows when Hurts's STTM rank slides from #8 to #14. The career baseline (8,000+ yards, 56 TDs, three straight 2nd-team APs) is intact.
Brown was born in Starkville, Mississippi, attended Starkville High, and won the 2017 Conerly Trophy at Ole Miss after two consecutive first-team All-SEC seasons. The Titans took him 51st overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, and Philadelphia traded for him in 2022. He has won Super Bowl LIX, made three Pro Bowls, and earned three consecutive second-team All-Pro nods (2022-2024). Career line is 524 catches for 8,029 yards and 56 TDs across seven seasons.
Strengths
- Three consecutive second-team All-Pros (2022-2024) plus a Super Bowl LIX ring; the resume tier is locked in.
- Career 8,029 receiving yards and 56 TDs at age 28; the prime is still here.
Concerns
- Jalen Hurts's 2025 slide to STTM #14 tier 4 capped the air-yards volume that fed Brown's prior tier-1 seasons.
- 7-rank slide from 2024 to 2025; the trajectory is going the wrong way despite the team success.
What to watch: Whether Philadelphia's offense opens the passing menu back up in 2026 or stays committed to the run-heavy Hurts script that capped Brown's air share.
