Dyami Brown Not a Draft Target in All Fantasy Formats

Monday, July 27, 6:26 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown is back in Washington for the 2026 season, where he began his NFL career, coming off a season in Jacksonville in 2025, where he hauled in 20 of his 37 targets for 227 yards and one touchdown. While he had an impressive 11.35 YPR, he finished the season as the WR114 and, through his five-year career, has never finished a season better than WR99. For his career, he has 79 receptions, 1,011 yards, and five touchdowns through the air. He finds himself in a position to fight for a starting spot in a thin Commanders wide receiver room, as Terry McLaurin is the clear wide receiver in the room to go along with Brown, Van Jefferson, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey, and third-round pick Antonio Williams. However, it will be an uphill battle for the 26-year-old, and he should not be on fantasy managers' radar in any formats as we enter draft season.

Xavier Legette News

Xavier Legette Favored for Panthers' WR3 Role

Wednesday, July 29, 11:25 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette now has the inside track on the No. 3 role after rookie Chris Brazzell II suffered a moderate LCL tear in his left knee and is expected to miss up to eight weeks, according to Joe Person. Person reported that the new injury is believed to be unrelated to the knee soreness that kept Brazzell out of practice Sunday and Tuesday. With Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker established atop the depth chart, Legette is now positioned ahead of David Moore and John Metchie III for the next spot. The 25-year-old caught 35 passes for 363 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games last season after recording 49 receptions for 497 yards and four scores as a rookie. Legette has also made several notable catches early in camp, including a red-zone touchdown Sunday. Brazzell's absence removes the most prominent challenger to Legette's role, but the former first-round pick still must turn the opportunity into more consistent production before becoming a dependable fantasy option.
