Dyami Brown News
Tuesday, July 14, 5:19 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown is hopeful to rebound in his reunion with the organization. Brown spent the first four years of his career with the Commanders before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. He failed to make an impression on the Jags with 20 receptions and 227 receiving yards across 14 games. Brown is one-and-done with the Jags and returned to Washington on a one-year deal. The 26-year-old is likely only to fight for targets given the depth the Commanders have at wideout. He's expected to compete for the fourth receiver role with Van Jefferson, Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey. It's likely going to take a few injuries for Brown to be relevant in Washington again. Dynasty managers can feel comfortable moving on from Brown.

Brenen Thompson News
Tuesday, July 7, 5:25 AM
Rookie wide receiver Brenen Thompson ran the fastest 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine, and while that has not always translated to fantasy success, in landing with the Los Angeles Chargers in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, he pairs with the playcaller perhaps best equipped to take advantage of that speed. As the head coach in Miami, Mike McDaniel often made speed the defining quality of his high-powered offenses, producing fantasy-friendly results for receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and running back De'Von Achane, and in his first season as the Chargers' offensive coordinator, the team has given him pieces to build a new speed-driven attack, Thompson included. While the undersized receiver could struggle to carve out a consistent role in a room with Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and 2025 second-round pick Tre' Harris, along with a pair of capable pass-catching tight ends, his 4.26 speed will make him a threat to go the distance anytime he's on the field. Thompson should not factor into plans for 2026 redraft leagues, but he's at least worthy of consideration in the late rounds of best ball drafts and is an intriguing dynasty stash in deeper leagues.
