Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Dyami Brown

Friday, September 5, 6:53 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown has been managing a knee injury that he sustained back during training camp and is currently listed as questionable for Week 1's matchup against the Giants. Brown was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday before showing up as a DNP in practice on Friday. Head coach Dan Quinn labeled it as a rest day for the veteran receiver and that he should be good to go on Sunday. Brown signed in Washington following being waived by the Texans during roster cuts and ended up signing a one-year extension after carving out a role as their second outside receiver. He led the team in total receiving yards in the two games against the Giants last season, catching nine passes for 116 yards. Brown again projects to be the team's primary outside wide receiver opposite Terry McLaurin, but likely won't be relevant for fantasy purposes against the Giants.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (lower body) was a full practice participant at training camp on Tuesday after he was held out of the team's second preseason game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with stiffness in his lower body, according to Mia O'Brien. First-round receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (upper body) also missed Sunday's exhibition contest and is day-to-day. Jacksonville's receiving corps is a little banged up, but Brown's and Hunter's injuries aren't serious enough to put them in danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old Brown has made some noise in camp this summer as he battles for the WR3 role with Parker Washington behind Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. He had a career-best 308 receiving yards and one touchdown in 16 games for the Commanders in 2024, but Brown will be left to the waiver wire in most 12-team fantasy formats.
