Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Britain Covey

Friday, December 20, 7:15 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown should not be started in any formats this weekend when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles. With Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve, Dyami Brown was given an increase in playing time. Last weekend, Brown brought in three of his four targets for 40 yards in their victory over the New Orleans Saints. Over his past two games, Brown has seen at least four targets in each contest and averaged a solid 9.3 yards per reception. In both of these games, he was deployed as the clear No.2 option opposite of Terry McLaurin in relief of Brown. However, facing a tough Philadelphia defense that has shut down opposing wide receivers, fantasy managers should look for an alternative option this weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey (neck) put in a limited practice on Friday but was ruled out for the Week 14 contest on Sunday against the visiting Carolina Panthers. Covey will now set his sights on being available for the team in Week 15 when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles will be without the 27-year-old for receiver depth this weekend, but they will be getting receiver DeVonta Smith back from a hamstring ailment that kept him out of the last two games. It's positive news after the team placed tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) on Injured Reserve. With Covey out, Cooper DeJean and Ainias Smith will fight for snaps as the No. 3 receiver in Philly with Jahan Dotson. Covey has not been on the fantasy radar at all in 2024 in his second year in the NFL, as he's caught only seven passes for 34 yards in his five games.
