Dyami Brown's Role About to Increase With Rookie WR on IR

Friday, October 31, 12:48 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown is firmly in the mix as a waiver-wire pickup before the team's Week 9 contest on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders after the Jaguars placed rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday due to a knee injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. Brown and Parker Washington are both worthy waiver-wire pickups with expanded roles coming in Jacksonville's passing game alongside Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder). The 25-year-old Brown is only rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues currently, but he should be seeing a drastic bump in volume and added targets in the coming weeks. He enters this weekend's action with 16 catches on 27 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown in six games so far this season. Washington should probably be the priority off waivers for fantasy managers in need of WR help.

Chig Okonkwo Removed off Injury Report

Friday, October 31, 9:20 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Okonkwo was limited to start the week before sitting out of practice on Thursday. Despite that, Okonkwo returned as a full participant on Friday and has been cleared to play this weekend. The 26-year-old has been quiet most weeks and continues to split up the snaps with Gunnar Helm. That being said, Okonkwo isn't an ideal streaming option and at best offers TE2 value.
