28-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Washington Commanders
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brown showed signs of breaking out in 2022 while with the Cowboys. In that season, he posted 555 yards and three touchdowns. In his first year with the Texans, Brown had a wild season. Due to injuries, the receiver played two games through Week 7. In Weeks 8-10, Brown was on fire, averaging 5.3 catches and 127 yards. Another injury cost Brown two games.Upon his return, he had three games with fewer than 10 yards and one with 82 yards and a touchdown. The overall picture tells us that Brown is very talented but not very reliable. After the Texans traded for Stefon Diggs, Brown will be competing for the No. 4 role. As a result, he would need others to miss time to be viewed as a fantasy factor. Read Past Outlooks

Could make team debut Sunday

September 11, 2024
Head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Brown is "definitely trending in the right direction" to be active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was a healthy inactive for the Commanders in Week 1, but that decision seems to be mostly a result of the veteran wideout needing more time to get fully acclimated to a new offensive scheme, per Ben Standig of The Athletic. Behind No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin, there's room for Brown to carve out a notable role on offense as rookie Luke McCaffrey and veterans Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown don't represent insurmountable competition for playing time. It may take a bit more time for Brown to work up to a full snap share, though, after he didn't sign with Washington until late August.

2017
Brown posted career highs across the board during his fifth season in Dallas in 2022, including a significant upgrade in snaps. After the Cowboys traded Amari Cooper to Cleveland and lost Cedrick Wilson to the Dolphins, the 2017 seventh-rounder was presented his biggest opportunity as a pro, en route to finishing with 43 catches for 555 yards and three touchdowns over 16 games. Despite what can be perceived as a career year, the Cowboys didn't put up much resistance in letting him walk. Brown's production dropped off over the final stretch and had just seven catches over the last three regular season games and two playoff contests. With Houston, Brown's experience could work in his favor in a mostly inexperienced wideout room.
Selected in the seventh round of the 2017 Draft, Brown has gone from a project to a dependable depth option in the Cowboys offense and a key special teams contributor. The Ohio State product had the best game of his career Week 12 of last season, catching six of nine targets for 53 yards, but most weeks he wasn't a factor as a receiver. Even with Amari Cooper gone and Michael Gallup recovering from a torn ACL, Brown may not see his role change significantly in 2022.
A seventh-round pick in 2017, Brown is still only 25 years old and took a small step forward in his development last season, suiting up for all 16 games and handling a big role on special teams while twice reaching 40 receiving yards in a game despite being buried on the depth chart. It would take a rash of injuries for him to move up the ladder, but Brown seems set in his roster spot for at least one more season in Dallas.
Still only 23 years old, Brown has the size to be a red-zone asset but remains a developmental project for the Cowboys after catching only nine passes in his first two NFL seasons.
Brown saw limited action as a rookie, catching only four of nine passes for 33 yards. Still a raw project, the 22-year-old has some upside as a physical receiver and red-zone target and could help fill the void created by Dez Bryant's exit if he can hang onto a roster spot.
Brown's decision to leave Ohio State early caused him to fall to the seventh round in this year's draft, but he does have the size and physical presence to succeed in the NFL once his skills catch up to his athleticism. He's unlikely to see much action as a rookie, but given that he's essentially a Dez Bryant starter kit, Brown landed with the perfect team to help him develop.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Early chemistry with Daniels
WRWashington Commanders
August 31, 2024
Brown, who signed with the Commanders on Wednesday after being cut by the Texans on Tuesday, has already begun developing strong chemistry with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was a surprise cut from Texans' roster, but it didn't take long for the 2017 seventh-round pick to catch on with the Commanders, who needed to bolster their depth at wideout after trading Jahan Dotson to the Eagles. Brown got to work right away with Daniels at practice, and the former told reporters after Thursday's session that he was "impressed with how [Daniels] operates, how he takes control of things." Brown played in just 10 regular-season games in 2023 due to various injuries, but he still managed to record a career-high 567 receiving yards on 33 catches while adding two touchdowns.
