A.J. Brown Returns as Patriots Receive Multiple Injury Boosts

A.J. Brown is returning for the New England Patriots in a home game that has them favored by seven points. The fact that he is taking the field suggests optimism about his condition, especially in a matchup where the team could have held him out if he were not fully ready.

There are still questions about how many snaps Brown will play in his first game since Week 1. Ankle injuries can carry a significant risk of reinjury, but fantasy managers should still start him unless they have an unusually deep and productive bench. His style of play does not depend entirely on speed and separation, so he could be productive in his return.

The Patriots also received good injury news with TreVeyon Henderson. His high ankle injury did not appear serious on video, and he will play today. Will Campbell is also active after returning from the MCL injury that hampered him at the end of last season.
