Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Tre' Harris

Wednesday, October 15, 12:48 PM

The Washington Commanders announced on Wednesday that they placed wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) on Injured Reserve. After already missing the team's last four games with groin and knee injuries, Brown will now be forced to miss at least four more games and will not be eligible to return until the Week 11 game on Sunday, Nov. 11, against the Miami Dolphins. Washington has also been without top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) for the last several games, leading to Deebo Samuel Sr. getting more work in the offense. With Brown now out for at least another four contests, it means that Luke McCaffrey and rookie Jaylin Lane should have a clear path to more playing time for the foreseeable future, at least until McLaurin is able to return. Brown, 29, caught three of seven targets for 36 yards and no touchdowns in the first two games of 2025 before getting hurt.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris scored his first career touchdown last week, but it came on only two targets and two catches for eight yards. His 40.7% route rate increased only because the Chargers rested starters in their dominant win against the Minnesota Vikings last Thursday night. Although the Tennessee Titans are weak on defense, the expected run-heavy game plan suggests another low-volume passing day, leaving few targets for the depth players. With rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden emerging, the target hierarchy is clear, and Harris remains low in the pecking order. He can be safely sat on the bench. He should only be considered in deep dynasty leagues or if multiple starters are injured.
