2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brown had at least 453 receiving yards but no more than 567 in each of the past three seasons, starting 29 of 37 games for the Cowboys, Texans and Commanders. He re-signed with Washington on a one-year contract this offseason, after missing the final two months of last season with a kidney injury. Brown, 29, is unlikely to enter training camp as a starter, instead providing depth behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel. Even the No. 3 receiver role is no sure thing, with Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, Michael Gallup, K.J. Osborn and Chris Moore also around to compete for the job. Brown has size (6-foot-2, 225) and experience working in his favor, but he's unlikely to get many targets even if he ends up playing a lot. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Commanders in March of 2025.
Progressing, but won't practice
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Brown (groin) will not practice Wednesday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was ruled out due to a groin injury early during last Thursday's loss to the Packers, but per Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site, Quinn said he's now "more encouraged than I was Monday," when he called the No. 3 receiver a longshot to suit up Week 3. That said, Brown will almost certainly need to resume practicing in at least a limited fashion Thursday and/or Friday for any chance of being cleared for Sunday's game against the Raiders, a game for which quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) also looks uncertain.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team's top available WR?
Brown may be the Commanders' top available wide receiver at the moment, as Commanders writer Ben Standig reports that Deebo Samuel injured his left hand while diving for a catch during Saturday's training camp practice.
ANALYSIS
Terry McLaurin is sidelined by an ankle injury and has also demanded a trade due to a contract impasse, so if Samuel also misses time, Brown could be next in line to work as the top wide receiver for quarterback Jayden Daniels. Despite playing in only 11 games during the 2024 regular season, Brown ranked third among Washington's wide receivers with 453 receiving yards, trailing McLaurin and Olamide Zaccheaus, who signed with the Bears in the offseason. Brown is participating in training camp after being carted off due to a non-contact injury during minicamp in June.
