Three catches against Cowboys Brown caught three of four targets for 16 yards and added one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Brown was involved in all aspects of the Commanders' offense Sunday, even adding a passing attempt that missed the mark. The fourth-year wide receiver played 25 of the Commanders' 58 offensive snaps in the contest, well behind fellow wideouts Terry McLaurin (53) and Olamide Zaccheaus (40). In 16 games this season, Brown recorded 30 receptions on 40 targets for 308 yards and a touchdown, adding three carries for 26 yards. The 27-year-old is set to hit the market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so it remains to be seen if he'll return to Washington in 2025.

Back in for Week 18 Brown (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown upgraded to full practice participation Friday to avoid an injury designation after being a non-participant Wednesday and limited Thursday. He's set to return after a one-game absence and figures to reprise a starting role on the outside in Washington's final regular-season action before the playoffs.

Limited in return to practice Brown (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact This marks Brown's first notable on-field work since injuring his hamstring Week 16 against the Eagles. He thus will have one more session this week Friday to prove his health, at which point the Commanders could make a decision on his availability, or lack thereof, ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas. Washington can clinch the No. 6 seed in the NFC with a win this weekend, so having all skill-position players available would increase its odds to do so.

No return to practice Brown (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Brown was injured Week 16 and missed Week 17, with his absence opening up more playing time for Olamide Zaccheaus, who took full advantage with three TDs over the past two games. It's possible Zaccheaus' emergence will mean a limited role for Brown once he returns, although that wouldn't be anything new after he spent much of the year backing up Noah Brown (IR - kidney). There's also some chance the Commanders get (Noah) Brown back during the playoffs, so there's a narrow path for (Dyami) Brown to occupy a starting role this January.

Ruled out Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Brown made an early exit from last week's win over the Eagles and didn't practice at all this week. His departure from the last-second win in Week 16 left more snaps/routes for Olamide Zaccheaus and Jamison Crowder, both of whom scored multiple touchdowns after previously having none this season.

Remains sidelined from practice Brown (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Brown instead was seen on the side during the open part of Thursday's session, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. It's unclear if Brown is in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Falcons due to the hamstring injury that forced an early exit from a Week 16 matchup versus the Eagles, but the Commanders could make a ruling on that front when they post their final practice report of the week Friday.

Listed as DNP on Wednesday Brown (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Impact Brown was knocked out late in this past Sunday's win against the Eagles due to a hamstring issue, but not before racking up four catches (on five targets) for 56 yards. He'll have a pair of chances to get back on the field this week, with Friday's injury report potentially providing some clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Injures hamstring in Week 16 Brown suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Brown departed late in the fourth quarter with four catches (on five targets) for 56 yards to his name. With Brown on the sideline, the Commanders' remaining healthy members of the receiving corps are Terry McLaurin, Olamide Zaccheaus, Jamison Crowder and Luke McCaffrey.

Nabs three balls Sunday Brown had three receptions on four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Saints.

Impact Brown continued to serve as the Commanders' No. 2 wideout with Noah Brown (kidney) being placed on injured reserve. The 24-year-old Brown has generated seven receptions for 65 yards in six quarters of action since taking over for his injured namesake. Brown could generate deep-league appeal with his current role in next Sunday's tilt against the Eagles.

Replaces Noah Brown Brown caught four of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 42-19 win over Tennessee, adding one carry for four yards.

Impact Brown picked up extra playing time in the second half after starting wideout Noah Brown left with a rib injury. The added snaps let to a few more targets than usual, and it's possible Dyami Brown will have an expanded role again after a Week 14 bye if Noah Brown isn't ready for Week 15 at New Orleans.

Two grabs in loss Brown caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Brown played just 24 of the Commanders' 70 offensive snaps Sunday and was unable to contribute much in the contest. The fourth-year wideout's sparse usage continues to limit his potential for fantasy production, as fellow receivers Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown are seeing most of the targets from quarterback Jayden Daniels. Brown remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Titans.

Quiet in loss Brown caught two of three targets for minus-13 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Brown played just 16 percent of the Commanders offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest snap share of the season. Though his three targets were his most since Week 7, the fourth-year wideout was unable to turn his opportunities into positive production. Buried behind Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown, Luke McCaffrey and Olamide Zaccheaus on the depth chart, Brown remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Eagles.

Targeted once Brown caught his lone target for a 24-yard gain in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Giants.

Impact Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey have been rotating snaps behind No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin and No. 2 receiver Noah Brown. This was the fourth straight game in which Dyami Brown caught exactly one pass, and he's now up to eight consecutive weeks with either one or two receptions. There's not much reason to expect more than that Week 10 against Pittsburgh, considering the team's other wide receivers mostly have been playing well.

Makes one catch in Week 8 win Brown secured his only target for six yards during Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears.

Impact Brown, who played 32 percent of offensive snaps, continues to mix in with Luke McCaffrey (36 percent) and Olamide Zaccheaus (35 percent) for No. 3 wide receiver reps behind top options Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown. The 2021 third-round pick has now logged seven straight games with at least one catch, but he's averaging just 19.1 yards per contest in that span. Brown will look to do more with his opportunities Week 9 against the Giants.

Ready for Week 8 Brown (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

Impact Brown opened the week with back-to-back limited practices due to an ankle injury, but he was able to log a full session Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 8 action. After going without a catch in the season opener, he has at least one reception in six consecutive games, but the cumulative line of 9-128-1 on 13 targets leaves a lot to be desired.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ankle injury Brown (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Brown was fifth among Washington's wide receivers in routes/snaps during Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. He typically sees 1-3 targets per game, so any limitations for Week 8 wouldn't have much impact on the Commanders' gameplan against Chicago.

Reels in 23-yard catch Brown played 21 of the Commanders' 69 snaps on offense and recorded a 23-yard reception among his three targets in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.

Impact Brown's 21 snaps placed him fifth among Commanders receivers, trailing Terry McLaurin (49), Noah Brown (42), Olamide Zaccheaus (29) and Luke McCaffrey (26). Dyami Brown has recorded a catch in six straight games, but he hasn't topped 60 receiving yards in any contest and has found the end zone just once during that stretch. Even in deeper fantasy leagues, Brown doesn't profile as a reliable option.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Catches one pass Brown caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Brown dropped to 32 percent snap share, fifth most among Washington's wide receivers, after handling 55 percent the week before with Noah Brown inactive due to a groin injury. The Commanders rotate WRs more than most teams, but Brown would probably need multiple injuries in front of him to see more than 2-3 targets per game. Next up is a Week 7 home game against Carolina.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 41-yard TD Brown caught both of his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in a 34-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact With Noah Brown (groin) inactive, Brown played 55 percent of snaps on offense, up from 22 percent in Week 3 and 25 percent in Week 4. He beat his defender for a 41-yard TD down the sideline shortly before halftime, but the one big play isn't likely to be enough to break free of a timeshare with Olamide Zaccheaus in the event Brown misses another game Week 6 at Baltimore.
