Brown caught one of four targets for four yards in a 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday. Brown led Washington's wide receivers with 77 percent snap share, slightly ahead of even Terry McLaurin (71 percent), who also had a rough night against an excellent Philadelphia secondary. They'll both get a much better matchup Week 12 against the Cowboys.

Brown caught one of four targets for four yards in a 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday. Brown led Washington's wide receivers with 77 percent snap share, slightly ahead of even Terry McLaurin (71 percent), who also had a rough night against an excellent Philadelphia secondary. They'll both get a much better matchup Week 12 against the Cowboys.
Brown recorded three receptions on seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. The entire Commanders' offense suffered from a lack of efficiency in Sunday's loss, and that carried over into Brown's stat line as his longest catch went for just 14 yards while he also hauled in fewer than half of his targets for the first time on the campaign. While it was a down performance, he has seen at least six targets in four of Washington's last five games, which suggests he should have the chance to bounce back in Week 11 against the Eagles.
Brown recorded five receptions on six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Giants. Brown maintained a significant role in the Commanders' offense and has now earned at least six targets in three of his last four games. While he didn't replicate his heroics from Week 8, Brown did manage lengthy receptions of 31 and 16 yards to account for the majority of his production. Notably, he appears to be preferred as the second receiver option behind Terry McLaurin, surpassing Olamide Zaccheaus for the time being.
Brown caught three of six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in an 18-15 win over the Bears on Sunday. Brown had a quiet afternoon until he caught a tipped pass for a 52-yard, game-winning TD on the final snap of the game, but there were some positive signs even before the miraculous play, namely season highs for snap share (82 percent) and route share (85 percent). He's been targeted on 21 percent of his routes this season while typically operating as Washington's No. 2 receiver, only with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown poaching a bunch of routes and snap each week. If the added playing time wasn't just a one-week blip, Brown could emerge as a low-end fantasy starter in the second half of the season, starting with a Week 9 road game against the Giants.
Brown caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. Brown's one target and one catch in Week 7 were both season lows in the five games he's played so far in 2024. The 28-year-old wideout played the second-most wide receiver snaps (42) in the contest, just behind Terry McLaurin (49). Brown has continued to see his role grow throughout the early part of the season, and its possible that he could eventually be considered a weekly starter for fantasy if he can make the most of his opportunities in Washington's passing attack. It may be difficult to take a step forward in Week 8, however, as the Commanders could be without rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) when they square off against the Bears.
Brown (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday. Brown missed Week 5 with the groin injury but then returned for Sunday's 30-23 loss to Baltimore and caught four of his team-high eight targets for 58 yards. He handled 66 percent snap share and 66 percent route share -- right around his season norms, and a good estimate of what to expect this Sunday against Carolina. Brown has caught either three or four passes in each of his four appearances for Washington, but last week was his first time drawing more than four targets in a game.
Brown (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice. Brown continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps due to the groin injury that sidelined him Week 5, but the issue didn't stop him from suiting up this past Sunday in Baltimore, where he gathered in four of eight targets for 58 yards. He'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Commanders potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
Brown caught four of eight targets for 58 yards in a 30-23 loss at Baltimore on Sunday. Brown returned to his role as the No. 2 receiver after missing Week 5 with a groin injury. His 66 percent route share was third best on the team, behind only WR Terry McLaurin (79 percent) and TE Zach Ertz (76 percent), and Brown led the team in both targets and air yards (101). While Brown doesn't get quite as many snaps/routes as a typical starter, he's been targeted at a surprisingly high rate this year, seeing the ball on 25 percent of his routes and accounting for 24 percent of Washington's air yards in his active games. A favorable Week 7 matchup against the Panthers makes Brown a reasonable lineup option for deep-ish leagues and DFS contests.
Brown (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Brown emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver prior to missing Week 5 with a groin injury, catching exactly three passes in each game Weeks 2-4. It's not likely to be a high-volume role, but the Commanders may be inclined to pass more than usual this weekend, facing a tough Baltimore run defense with RB Brian Robinson (knee) in danger of missing the game. Even so, Brown's volume is hard to project due to the possibility of sharing playing time with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown.
