Dyami Brown Set To Join Jaguars On $10 Million Deal
The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms on a one-year, $10 million contract worth up to $12 million with former Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The 2021 third-round pick out of North Carolina caught fewer than 15 passes and posted fewer than 200 years in each of his first three NFL seasons, but he emerged in 2024 in his final season with Washington. Brown posted 30 receptions for 308 yards and one touchdown during the regular season before tallying 14 receptions for 229 yards and a score in three postseason games. He's now headed to Duval County to catch passes from Trevor Lawrence, but his fantasy football upside is likely limited behind Brian Thomas Jr. The team will likely look to add more pass-catchers this offseason after letting Christian Kirk and Evan Engram go.
Dyami Brown Catches Three Passes In NFC Title Game
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught three of his five targets for 42 yards during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Brown continued his postseason emergence as he tallied the third-most yards on the team, trailing only Zach Ertz and Terry McLaurin. However, he did lose a fumble. His longest reception of the game went for 24 yards. During the first two rounds of the playoffs, the North Carolina product tallied 93.5 yards per game with a score. This was a stark contrast to his regular season performance, where he tallied just 19.3 yards per game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Brown's status during the offseason, as he could have a path to continue this breakout into 2025 if he retains a spot in the starting lineup.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown looks to continue his playoff breakout in the NFC title game against the Philadelphia Eagles. During the first two rounds of the playoffs, Brown has emerged as an integral part of the offense, as he has seen 6.5 targets per game. During this stretch, he has tallied 93.5 yards per game with one touchdown. During the regular season, Brown only averaged 19.3 yards per game with just one touchdown. Given his current play, Brown should still be viewed as a reliable WR3 with upside in all DFS competitions this weekend despite facing a tough Philadelphia secondary that has allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught six of his eight targets for 98 yards during their upset victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Brown's targets, receptions, and yards all led the team. Brown's longest reception of the day went for 42 yards. The 25-year-old has now seen at least four targets in each of his previous three games and tallied at least 89 in each of his past two. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory, Brown tied Terry McLaurin for the most receiving yards on the team (89) and found the back of the end zone. During the regular season, Brown averaged a mere 19.3 yards per game. Given his current role in the Washington offense, Brown carries WR2 upside heading into the NFC Championship Game.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown will look to remain productive in the divisional round when he faces the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Last weekend, Brown enjoyed one of the best performances of his career as he brought in all five of his targets for 89 yards and a score. Brown missed time late in the season due to a minor hamstring injury. He returned to action a week prior in Week 18 and saw four targets. However, seeing him immediately have a more significant role in the wild-card game suggests Brown should continue to have a substantial role in the offense this weekend. With Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve, Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus will continue operating as the team's No.2/No.3 wide receivers. In a favorable matchup against the Lions, who have allowed the second-most PPR points to opposing wideouts makes, him a high-upside WR3 play in DFS.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown enjoyed one of the best games of his career during their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round. Brown brought in all five of his targets for 89 yards and a score. Brown's 89 yards were tied for the most on the team, alongside Terry McLaurin. His five targets and receptions were both the second-most on the team. Brown found the back of the end zone on a ten-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. This was Brown's most productive outing of the season and second-highest yardage total of his career, only below the 108 yards he tallied during Week 5 of the 2022 NFL Season. Brown should once again carry sneaky flex appeal in DFS formats, facing a struggling Detroit secondary next weekend.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of the regular-season finale against Dallas. The fourth-year receiver doesn't have a top-25 finish in PPR formats this year, but has an enticing matchup against a bad Dallas pass defense. Washington has committed to playing its starters, but certainly will be thinking about next week with a berth in the NFC playoffs already clinched. Brown's practice status will be worth watching as the Commanders progress through the week.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (hamstring) was listed as a DNP for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Brown injured his hamstring in the Week 16 win over the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles and will now need to practice on Friday in some fashion to avoid being ruled out in Week 17 as the team takes on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. Even if the 25-year-old pass-catcher is able to practice on Friday and suit up on Sunday against the Falcons, he won't be much of an upside play as a flex option in deeper fantasy leagues despite a plus matchup. In his fourth year with the Commanders, Brown has a career-high 27 receptions for 292 yards and one touchdown on his 36 targets over 15 games played (two starts). Olamide Zaccheaus will probably be the biggest beneficiary in the offense if Brown is unable to play this weekend.
Dyami Brown Catches Four Passes, Injured In Week 16 Victory
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (hamstring) caught four of his five targets for 56 yards during their Week 16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Brown's five targets and yardage output were the third-most on the team, behind Olamide Zaccheaus and Terry McLaurin. Brown's longest reception of the afternoon went for 51 yards. Brown did sustain a hamstring injury in the second half and did not return after. Fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of missing Week 17's tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. With Noah Brown (kidney) on Injured Reserve, Dyami Brown has emerged as a viable option in the Washington passing attack and has seen at least five targets in back-to-back outings.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown should not be started in any formats this weekend when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles. With Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve, Dyami Brown was given an increase in playing time. Last weekend, Brown brought in three of his four targets for 40 yards in their victory over the New Orleans Saints. Over his past two games, Brown has seen at least four targets in each contest and averaged a solid 9.3 yards per reception. In both of these games, he was deployed as the clear No.2 option opposite of Terry McLaurin in relief of Brown. However, facing a tough Philadelphia defense that has shut down opposing wide receivers, fantasy managers should look for an alternative option this weekend.
