Dyami Brown

ANALYSIS
Neither did Olamide Zaccheaus, who seems to be Brown's primary competition for the No. 2 receiver spot after Jahan Dotson was traded to the Eagles last week. Dotson mostly worked the slot during Washington's first two preseason games while Zaccheaus and Brown split perimeter snaps with the first-team offense. One possibility is moving Zaccheaus to the slot and keeping Brown on the perimeter, although that wouldn't necessarily give Brown all the playing time in two-wide sets. Jamison Crowder and rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey also could enter the mix despite not getting playing time with the starting offense this preseason. Regardless of how the snaps shake out, it'll be surprising if any of the team's WRs besides Terry McLaurin see more than a handful of targets per game.

ANALYSIS
For the moment, Brown finds himself in a position to claim a spot on the depth chart that would have seemed highly improbable as recently as the end of the 2023 regular season. The 2021 third-round pick has played in 47 of a possible 51 regular-season games since entering the NFL, but all he has to show for it is a modest 29-476-3 receiving line and 11 rushing yards on three carries. However, it seems all but certain Brown is about to walk into the heaviest workload of his career -- he's topped out at 278 snaps from scrimmage back in his rookie campaign -- following Dotson's exit.
