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

Not practicing
Brown (undisclosed) remains absent from practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown initially was injured during June minicamp, and while he returned for the start of training camp as a limited participant, he either never made it back to full participation or was quickly sidelined again. Whatever the case, he hasn't played this preseason and seems uncertain for Week 1, which is especially concerning for a Commanders offense that also has Terry McLaurin (contract) absent from practice. Brown was viewed as at least a slight favorite for the No. 3 WR role earlier this offseason, potentially facing competition from Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, K.J. Osborn and Michael Gallup. It's unclear at this point who besides Deebo Samuel will take WR snaps come Week 1.

2017
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.
