Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Jaelon Darden

Sunday, January 26, 7:07 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught three of his five targets for 42 yards during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Brown continued his postseason emergence as he tallied the third-most yards on the team, trailing only Zach Ertz and Terry McLaurin. However, he did lose a fumble. His longest reception of the game went for 24 yards. During the first two rounds of the playoffs, the North Carolina product tallied 93.5 yards per game with a score. This was a stark contrast to his regular season performance, where he tallied just 19.3 yards per game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Brown's status during the offseason, as he could have a path to continue this breakout into 2025 if he retains a spot in the starting lineup.

The Cleveland Browns signed wide receiver Jaelon Darden to their active 53-man roster on Saturday and also elevated cornerback Mike Ford Jr. and offensive tackle Germain Ifedi to the active roster ahead of their Week 1 showdown in Cleveland against the Dallas Cowboys. The Browns released former third-rounder David Bell earlier this week, so the 25-year-old Darden will essentially replace him on Cleveland's roster as additional receiver depth behind Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore. Darden will be competing for playing time with Cedric Tillman and rookie Jamari Thrash and is off the fantasy radar everywhere for now. Darden was originally drafted in the fourth round in 2021 out of North Texas by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last year in 16 games with the Browns, he only served as a kick returner on special teams and wasn't involved in the offense.
