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 has seen his playing time steadily rise as the season has gone along. Harris hit a season high in snap (82.8%) and route share back (84.6%) in Week 6 with Quentin Johnston out, catching four of five targets for 27 yards. His route share has been between 22.5% and 35.9% every week since then, but he spiked back up to 50% in Week 11, his second-highest rate of the year. He caught his only target for 12 yards, and it was likely a result of the Chargers taking a beating in a blowout 35-6 loss to the Jaguars, but it was positive news for the rookie regardless. The rookie second-rounder is buried in a deep Chargers wide receiver room, and it will be tough for him to make a big impact this season without an injury.
