Brown will likely be the No. 4 receiver in Washington this season, but he has minimal Fantasy value in that role and is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues. In 2022, Brown had a huge game in Week 5 against Tennessee with two catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. But he finished the season with only five catches for 143 yards on 14 targets, so clearly his performance against the Titans was somewhat of a fluke. We'll see how he does in Year 3 of his career, but he's behind Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel on the depth chart, which should make it hard for Brown to contribute on a consistent basis if everyone is healthy. At best, add Brown off the waiver wire during the season if he's making an impact.
Brown was held without a catch on one target in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Bills.
The new Washington offense hasn't even been fruitful for the team's top three wide receivers, and Brown has caught only three passes in three weeks coming off the bench as the No. 4. He'll likely handle the same role Week 4 at Philadelphia.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Catches three passes
Rotowire
Brown caught each of his three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 35-33 win over the Broncos.
Brown has played 27 and now 33 percent of snaps in Washington's first two games, running routes on around one-third of Sam Howell's dropbacks as the No. 4 receiver. While unlikely to usurp Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson or Curtis Samuel on the depth chart, Brown could become a near-every-down player if one of the three misses time with an injury (especially McLaurin/Dotson). The whole group seemed to finish Sunday's win healthy, likely leaving Brown as the No. 4 WR again for Week 3 against Buffalo.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Limited time in opener
Rotowire
Brown was not targeted during Sunday's 20-16 win against the Cardinals.
The 2021 third-round selection was on the field for 19 of the team's 71 offensive snaps, playing behind Terry McLaurin (63), Jahan Dotson (62) and Curtis Samuel (46). He did play ahead of wideouts Byron Pringle and Jamison Crowder, as the two didn't see a single offensive snap. Sam Howell targeted only three wide receivers Sunday, and with Brown fourth in the pecking order, don't expect him to see a lot of work going forward.
Brown caught two of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 29-28 win over Baltimore.
Brown was the No. 4 WR for the first-team offense and scored a touchdown at the end of the first half after Terry McLaurin left with a toe injury. Brown also took a few snaps prior to McLaurin's exit, and later played with the second-stringers after halftime, hauling in a 16-yard catch from Jacoby Brissett. To cap off his eventful night, Brown left the game to be checked for a concussion, and while he was quickly cleared he sat out the rest of the game anyway. The 2021 third-round pick has had a disappointing first two seasons in the NFL, but reports out of camp this year have been far more positive and it's possible McLaurin's toe injury opens up a top-three spot for Brown at WR in Week 1 against Arizona.

Brown exited Monday night's preseason game against the Ravens early to be checked for a concussion, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Prior to leaving in the third quarter, Brown was targeted six times and caught two passes for 27 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown from Sam Howell just before halftime. Brown is expected to open the season as the Commanders' fourth wideout.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Quiet year after Week 5
Rotowire
Brown finished the 2022 season with five catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets.
The 2021 third-round pick made 15 appearances without ever playing even one-third of Washington's offensive snaps, though he did nearly lead the team to victory with TD catches of 75 and 30 yards in a 21-17 loss to the Titans in Week 5. Brown had caught just one pass before that and added only two more the rest of the season, while rookie wideout Jahan Dotson emerged as the big-play threat opposite Terry McLaurin with a 35-523-7 receiving line in 12 games. Brown may find himself on the roster bubble heading into 2023, as he has 308 receiving yards through two seasons and hasn't contributed much on special teams either.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Limited role in passing attack

Brown played 14 of the Commanders' 60 snaps on offense and finished with a 17-yard reception in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Brown has logged just 19 combined snaps on offense in Washington's past two games and doesn't look as though he'll be in store for much playing time so long as fellow receivers Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson are available moving forward.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Held without a catch
Rotowire
Brown finished without a catch on one target in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Minnesota.
Brown and Cam Sims essentially split the No. 3 WR role with Jahan Dotson (hamstring) missing another game, only it was Dax Milne who found the end zone on his lone target while playing just 16 percent of snaps. None of the bunch projects for much target volume in an offense built around Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and the running backs. Brown at least seems to have moved past the groin injury that held him out Week 8, so it's possible he takes more snaps away from Sims if Dotson misses another game Week 10 at Philadelphia.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Iffy for Week 8
Rotowire
The Commanders list Brown (groin) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
After not practicing in any capacity last week before sitting out the Commanders' eventual win over the Packers, Brown was back on the field as a limited participant this week. It's unclear if the increased practice activity will be enough for Brown to gain clearance to play Sunday, but if he does, he'll likely be stepping into the No. 3 role at receiver behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel while rookie first-round pick Jahan Dotson (hamstring) misses a fourth consecutive game.
Brown (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Brown's limited activity marks no change from Wednesday, but his ability to maintain that level of participation is at least a positive sign after he failed to practice in any capacity last week before sitting out Washington's win over the Packers. If Brown gets cleared to play Sunday in Indianapolis, he could serve as the Commanders' No. 3 wideout behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel with rookie first-round pick Jahan Dotson (hamstring) trending toward missing his fourth consecutive game.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Won't play this week
Rotowire
Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
With Jahan Dotson (hamstring) listed as questionable and perhaps more on the doubtful side, Brown might've had a chance to step up as the No. 3 receiver this week. Instead, Cam Sims is most likely to get that opportunity if Dotson is inactive or limited come Sunday.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Plays only three snaps
Rotowire
Brown played only three snaps on offense in Thursday's 12-7 win over Chicago, finishing with one incomplete target.
Brown was the star for Washington four days earlier, catching two of four targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-17 loss to Tennessee. Even then he played only 32 percent of snaps with Jahan Dotson (hamstring) out of the lineup, while Cam Sims took 59 percent. Brown then showed up on the Week 6 injury report with a quad injury, which likely was a factor in his playing time being scaled back Thursday. Sims caught just one pass for six yards while playing 72 percent of snaps, so Brown could have a larger role Week 7 against Green Bay if his groin injury improves and if Dotson remains out of the lineup.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: On track to play
Rotowire
Brown (groin), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bears, is expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Washington has already ruled out wideout Jahan Dotson (hamstring) and tight end Logan Thomas (calf) for the second straight week, but Brown looks like he'll avoid an absence due to the groin issue that resulted in him being listed as a limited practice participant Monday through Wednesday. While Dotson was sidelined for the Week 5 loss to the Titans, Brown stepped up to deliver 75- and 30-yard touchdown receptions, but he didn't reel in either of his other two targets across his 20 snaps on offense on the afternoon. Assuming he avoids the inactive list, Brown could step into a larger role Thursday on the heels of his big performance, but his projected target volume still might not be large enough to make him a reliable fantasy option in most leagues.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Limited in practice again
Rotowire
Brown (groin) logged another limited practice Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Brown was also a limited participant on the team's estimated practice report Monday. With the team taking the field Thursday against the Bears, his inability to log a full practice two days out will make his status for Wednesday worth watching. This is especially true with Jahan Dotson (hamstring) still unable to practice, because if both were to sit, Cam Sims and Dax Milne would be worth a look in single-game DFS contests Thursday.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Limited on practice estimate

Brown (groin) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
In Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Titans, Brown logged two catches on four targets for 105 yards and two TDs, while seeing action on 20 snaps on offense. Now that he's popped up on the Commanders' Week 6 injury report, the 2021 third-rounder's status is worth tracking ahead of Thursday's game against the Bears, especially in the wake of his Week 5 breakout effort.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Catches two long scores
Rotowire
Brown recorded two catches on four targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Titans.
Brown made the most of his opportunities and tallied touchdowns of 75 and 30 yards. He has taken advantage of the absence of Jahan Dotson (hamstring) to earn four targets in consecutive games. While that volume isn't enough to give Brown a chance to remain consistently productive, it does represent an increase in his involvement in Washington's offense.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Struggles against Chiefs
Rotowire
Brown caught two of six targets for nine yards in a preseason loss to Kansas City on Saturday.
While the 2021 third-round pick reportedly has displayed progress at training camp, he has only 23 yards from nine targets through two preseason games. Cam Sims, meanwhile, scored a TD on Saturday, making his own case for the No. 4 WR role. The top three appears pretty set with Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel, leaving Brown, Sims and others to compete for depth roles.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Gets some run with starters
Rotowire
Brown isn't likely to have an every-down role this year, but he did run with the first-team offense in Terry McLaurin's absence throughout most of the offseason program, Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports reports.
The 2021 third-round pick actually opened his rookie season as a starter, but he lost the job after a slow start and then dealt with a knee injury. Brown ultimately caught only 12 of 25 targets for 165 yards in 15 games (six starts), and the Commanders then took WR Jahan Dotson in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The team likely envisions a top three comprised of Terry McLaurin, Dotson and a finally healthy Curtis Samuel, with Brown perhaps coming off the bench as a part-time deep threat. Injuries could always throw a hitch in that plan, of course, in which case Brown could have an opportunity to make starts again.

Football Team's Dyami Brown: Catches two passes
Rotowire
Brown played 13 snaps in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas and caught both his targets for 53 yards.
It's been a quiet rookie year for the third-round pick, even though he got plenty of playing time early on. He's been either injured or buried on the depth chart since October, but Brown finally made a big play with his 48-yard gain in the first quarter of Sunday's loss. While a starting job may not be in the cards this year, it is possible Brown gets a little more playing time over the final couple weeks of the season, perhaps stealings snaps from DeAndre Carter.
