Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Malik Washington

Monday, August 4, 10:47 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (undisclosed) did not practice on Monday. Brown suffered an injury during mandatory minicamp in June but has been practicing throughout training camp. As of now, there is no explanation for Brown's absence on Monday. Brown caught 35 passes for 453 yards and one touchdown for Washington in 2024 and could see a larger role in the team's offense this season if the Commanders decide to fulfill Terry McLaurin's trade demand from last week. Stay tuned as the team is likely to elaborate on Brown's absence from practice later in the day on Monday.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington "is WR No. 3" behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. A sixth-round pick out of Virginia in the 2024 draft, Washington recorded 26 catches for 223 yards in 14 games (three starts) for the Dolphins as a rookie. With Hill (oblique) currently sidelined by an oblique injury, Washington could be in line for a larger role than might otherwise be expected. However, Hill's availability for Week 1 is not currently thought to be in danger. If Hill is healthy, he and Waddle should dominate wide receiver targets in Miami. Washington would need one or both of the Dolphins' star receivers to miss time to factor in fantasy this season, but it's noteworthy that he appears to be the clear next man up in the pecking order.
