60+ Fantasy Football Team Names Inspired by A.J. Brown's Patriots Trade
60+ A.J. Brown Patriots fantasy football team names — the Vrabel reunion, the draft-night tears, and the new WR1 lock in New England.
A.J. Brown is a Patriot now, and not in some ironic, once-removed way. Philadelphia shipped its WR1 to New England this offseason, reuniting Brown with Mike Vrabel — the coach who drafted him out of Ole Miss in the second round back in 2019, right after Brown says he cried at his draft party when New England passed on him in the first round. Seven years and one blockbuster trade later, Brown gets to suit up for the team he grew up rooting for, which is about as tidy a storyline as fantasy football ever hands you — plus a fresh weekly WR1 lock to build a roster around.
