Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Dyami Brown

Saturday, October 25, 9:01 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Samuel missed only one game due to the heel injury that he's been managing for a few weeks, and will be joined by fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who returns from a four-game absence because of a quadriceps injury. Samuel has enjoyed an outstanding bounce-back season with Washington through six games, catching 34 of his 43 targets for 315 yards and three touchdowns, and has added eight rushes for 45 yards and another score on the ground. McLaurin's return could take away a few targets, but Samuel has operated as the focal point of the passing attack in his absence. He's shown more downfield ability this year and continues to be one of the best YAC threats in the league. RotoBaller ranks him as WR25 in PPR leagues for Week 8 against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown had cooled off going into the Week 7 London game against the Los Angeles Rams after two straight 50-yard games to begin the season. Despite catching only two of his four targets in Sunday's 35-7 blowout loss to the Rams, Brown reached the 50-yard mark for the third time this year despite playing a season-low 30% of the offensive snaps. The 25-year-old could have had a bigger game, but he spent time on the sideline and in the medical tent after injuring his right leg on a 39-yard catch in the third quarter. He was able to return to the game but was unable to do any further damage, and he's had exactly two receptions in each of the four games for the Jaguars. Brown heads into Jacksonville's Week 7 bye with only 16 catches, 194 yards, and one touchdown on 27 targets in six games in 2025 and really cannot be trusted as a WR4/flex in 12-team fantasy leagues.
