Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown's stock is down this offseason after the team added Olamide Zaccheaus in free agency and drafted Luke McCaffrey in the third round. Brown, a third-round pick in 2021, has just 29 receptions in his three NFL seasons, and two of his three career touchdowns came in one game. He offers a different player profile than both Zaccheaus and McCaffrey, but Washington's previous staff made Brown available at last year's trade deadline, according to league sources. Another challenge for Brown will be the fact that the Commanders love to use 12 personnel, which means two tight ends on the field at the expense of a receiver. The presence of pass-catching running back Austin Ekeler also likely cuts down the available snaps for Brown in 2024.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught both of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After being quiet for most of the season, Brown came up huge in Week 10. With under a minute to go, the third-year receiver hauled in a clutch 35-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to bring Washington within one point of Seattle. While it was a big play for the Commanders, this likely won't lead to much consistent success for the 24-year-old. It was nice to see some positive play, but Brown doesn't hold a strong enough role in this offense to be considered an option in any format.
ESPN's Dan Graziano hears that Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown has been a standout this offseason, even in a talented receiving room that includes 2022 first-rounder Jahan Dotson and Terry McLaurin. McLaurin suffered a toe injury in the final preseason game that could linger into the regular season, which might open up opportunities for others further down the depth chart like Brown. The Commanders have been impressed with Brown's improvement and they like his ability to make contested catches. The 23-year-old also spent two years playing at North Carolina with new Commanders starting quarterback Sam Howell. Brown only has 39 targets in 30 career games, but he could become interesting in fantasy if injuries open up more playing time for him in 2023.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown briefly exited Monday's preseason contest against the Baltimore Ravens to be evaluated for a concussion. After a little while on the sidelines, the team ruled that he was clear to return to the game. It's unclear if the Commanders will risk him going back in and possibly getting hurt again after their starters played the first half and they had Terry McLaurin exit with a toe injury. Brown has yet to meet the lofty expectations he had while entering the league, so his fantasy relevance is slim to none at the moment. He's the fourth receiver on the depth chart and doesn't look like he'll be moving up any time soon.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown exited Monday's preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens to be evaluated for a concussion. The 23-year-old took a hard hit during the third quarter so the team removed kept him sidelined to make sure that he wasn't showing any concussion-like symptoms. This comes just one quarter after the team's star receiver, Terry McLaurin exited with a toe injury and won't return. This will give more opportunities to the fringe receivers looking to make the roster.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He missed the last two weeks due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old has three catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns over six games in 2022. He could have an expanded role if Jahan Dotson (hamstring) is ruled out against Minnesota. Brown is a dart throw at best against the Vikings in Week 8.
Logan Thomas Active, Dyami Brown Inactive For Week 8
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Meanwhile, wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) is inactive. Thomas is slated to suit up for the first time since Week 4 when he caught five passes for 19 yards. He ranks as a mid-to-low TE2 in fantasy football this week. Meanwhile, Brown joins fellow wideout Jahan Dotson (hamstring) on the inactives list. Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel will lead Washington's receiving corps on Sunday.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) is listed as questionable to play in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. Brown missed the Week 7 win over the Green Bay Packers but was able to return to practice this week, giving him a shot to play this weekend. Rookie Jahan Dotson (hamstring) is missing his fourth straight game, so Brown would have a chance to see more playing time if he's active behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel. Aside from a 105-yard, two-touchdown performance on Oct. 9 against the Tennessee Titans on his only two catches, Brown has just one catch for six yards in his other two games played in 2022. So if he's active, fantasy managers can probably find safer flex plays.
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) and wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) were both listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Thomas has missed the last three games, but he could be on his way to a return in a Week 8 contest against the Indianapolis Colts on the road. John Bates and Cole Turner (concussion) have been seeing more usage with Thomas sidelined, but neither have been realistic starting options for fantasy managers. If Thomas returns this Sunday, he'll be a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer. Brown missed the Week 7 win over the Green Bay Packers and will be a limited deep threat for quarterback Taylor Heinicke if he's back this weekend.
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) and wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) have been ruled out for Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile, tight end John Bates (hamstring) is questionable to play, so Washington could be down to rookies Cole Turner and Armani Rogers at the position on Sunday. Thomas will be missing his second straight contest with his calf injury. Brown had two catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 but then came back down to Earth with no catches on one target in last week's win over the Chicago Bears. With rookie Jahan Dotson (hamstring) in danger of missing another game, Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel could be peppered with targets by quarterback Taylor Heinicke in Week 7.
