Dyami Brown Holds Little Dynasty Value in His Return to Washington

Wednesday, May 27, 5:50 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown signed a one-year deal this offseason to return to the team that drafted him in 2021. Brown's single season with Jacksonville in 2025 was an unproductive one, finishing the year with only 227 yards on 20 receptions, and even though the receiver room he rejoins in Washington doesn't boast the top-to-bottom target competition of the one he left in Duval, expectations remain low from a fantasy perspective, reflected by his standing as WR129 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings. Veteran Terry McLaurin is all but locked in as the top option in new coordinator David Blough's offense, and free agent additions Chig Okonkwo and Rachaad White are expected to see a healthy dose of receiving work from their respective tight end and running back positions. 2026 third-round pick Antonio Williams projects to eventually earn a full-time role in the slot, leaving Brown in competition with Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane for additional targets in what has been one of the league's run-heaviest offenses since Dan Quinn took over as head coach. Having never topped 308 receiving yards or three total touchdowns in a season, Brown is not a player who needs to be rostered heading into 2026.

Raiders Expect Jalen Nailor to Take "Big Leap" in "Featured Role"

Tuesday, May 5, 9:29 AM

The Athletic's Sam Warren writes that the Las Vegas Raiders like wide receiver Jalen Nailor to "take a big leap in a more featured role" in 2026. Nailor will be a starter alongside Tre Tucker and Jack Bech after signing a three-year, $35 million deal in free agency in March. The 27-year-old former sixth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 out of Michigan State showed flashes with the Vikings, but his fantasy value was always capped as the No. 3 with the Vikes behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Nailor had a career-high six touchdowns in 17 games in 2024 and caught 29 passes for a career-high 444 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games in 2025 in his final season in Minnesota. He'll be reunited with former QB Kirk Cousins to start the 2026 campaign in Vegas, and there is plenty of opportunity since the Raiders didn't address the receiver position in this year's draft. At the very least, Nailor will be in play as a weekly WR4/flex in redraft leagues for the upcoming season, while his dynasty stock has more long-term upside as he begins to work with No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.
