Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Brown suffered a knee injury in minicamp that forced him to miss nearly all of training camp, but it appears he has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The 29-year-old played in 11 games for Washington last season, recording 35 catches for 453 yards and one touchdown. Brown is expected to be Washington's WR3 alongside Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. Brown is unlikely to be a significant factor in fantasy this season, but he could be a solid bye-week replacement off the waiver wire if one of McLaurin or Samuel Sr. were to go down with an injury.

New York Giants wide receivers Malik Nabers (shoulder) and Darius Slayton (undisclosed) were not involved in pre-game warmups on Saturday and are not expected to suit up for the preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. It's a big chance for Jalin Hyatt to impress the coaches. Neither Nabers' or Slayton's injuries are serious, but the Giants will play it safe early in the preseason and hold them both out. In addition to a shoulder injury, the 22-year-old Nabers has also battled a toe injury since college, but it didn't slow him down at all in his rookie season in 2024, as he had a 109-1,204-7 line on 170 targets. Nabers' nagging injuries are worth watching closely, but as of now, there's no reason not to target him as a strong WR1 in fantasy drafts in 2025.
