Start A.J. Brown: 68 percent of the snaps and 22 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Josh Cameron's 44 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size306 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cameron, and the board ranks him 115th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on A.J. Brown, and the board ranks him 123rd overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 23.
The market-based projections
Josh Cameron's market-based projection is 3.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 124th highest figure of the 219 players with a market-based projection.
The market has A.J. Brown at 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 3 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
A.J. Brown's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season so far
Through Week 8, Josh Cameron has been on the field for 37 percent of JAX snaps, drawn 7 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 2 of the offence's 48 third down targets, had 1 of its 16 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 23 two minute targets.
His 13 targets have averaged 6.7 air yards.

Through Week 7, A.J. Brown has been on the field for 68 percent of NE snaps, drawn 22 percent of the targets and had 15 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 6 of the offence's 26 third down targets, had 0 of its 1 chance inside the five and seen 7 of its 21 two minute targets.

In Week 7 against CHI he caught 3 of 6 targets for 48 yards and did not score.
Their 2025 seasons
Josh Cameron is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
In 2025 A.J. Brown played 15 games and scored 220.3 PPR points, 14.7 a game, finishing WR11.
He caught 78 of 121 targets for 1003 yards and 7 touchdowns, with 12 red zone targets.
That came to 8.1 targets a game, a 64 percent catch rate and 12.9 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 91 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Head to head
This season A.J. Brown holds the bigger snap share, 68 percent against 37 percent.
This season A.J. Brown holds the bigger target share, 22 percent against 7 percent.
Byes and availability
Josh Cameron is off in Week 7 and A.J. Brown in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
A.J. Brown is listed as out on the injury report.
What would change the answer
A.J. Brown has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
