Fitzpatrick out, Heinicke to start for Washington vs. Giants
Taylor Heinicke is set to start at quarterback for Washington against the New York Giants on Thursday night after Ryan Fitzpatrick injured his right hip in the season openerSEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Handles every-down role Brown caught just one of four targets for a two-yard loss in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Chargers, but he did play 93 percent of Washington's snaps on offense.
Impact The rookie third-round pick actually tied Terry McLaurin for second on the team in targets, as QBs Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke combined for only 21 pass attempts in a game where Washington emphasized Antonio Gibson but got smashed in the possession battle anyway. While the rookie didn't exactly shine in his regular-season debut, Brown did have a solid grip on the No. 2 receiver role from a playing time standpoint, with Cam Sims poaching just two snaps all afternoon. Of course, Brown could be demoted to third or fourth on the depth chart once Curtis Samuel (groin) returns from injured reserve (at some point Week 4 or later). For now, Washington will host the Giants on Thursday in Week 2, likely starting Heinicke at QB and Brown as the No. 2 wideout.

In the mix to start? Brown and Cam Sims are the top candidates to see more snaps after Curtis Samuel (groin) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Samuel has filled a few different roles over the years, and in Washington he was expected to be the No. 2 receiver, likely taking a lot of perimeter snaps given that slot specialist Adam Humphries also is on the team. Samuel's absence could lead to more touches for Humphries and satellite back J.D. McKissic, but Brown and Sims are more likely to benefit in terms of snap count. Brown is a rookie third-round pick, while Sims is a fourth-year pro who started 10 games last season but averaged just 4.5 targets in those contests. Washington hasn't announced whether Sims or Brown will be the main replacement for Samuel at wide receiver in Sunday's opener against the Chargers.

Another pair of catches Brown recorded two receptions on four targets for 33 yards in Friday's preseason game against Cincinnati.
Impact Brown had mixed results in his second professional game. He began the contest with a drop -- albeit on a tough opportunity -- but he bounced back to record a 29-yard catch over cornerback Darius Phillips. With Curtis Samuel (groin) still sidelined, Brown had valuable reps with presumed starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Though he may start the season in a reserve role, Brown figures to have the chance to enter three-receiver sets at some point in the campaign.

Catches two passes Brown caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to New England.
Impact The rookie third-round pick had a seven-yard gain late in the first quarter on a completion from QB Taylor Heinicke, who then missed Brown on a deep pass on the very next snap. The two later hooked up for nine yards on a 3rd-and-3 shortly before halftime, setting up Washington's first TD of the night. It was a solid first showing for Brown, especially given that none of Washington's other wide receivers had big games. He might even get some reps as the No. 2 receiver if Curtis Samuel (groin) continues to miss time.

Draft fall ends in Washington Washington selected Brown in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 82nd overall.
Impact Washington's underwhelming quarterback personnel makes it unlikely for a third fantasy standout to emerge at receiver behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel, but this is a clear steal for Washington. Brown (6-foot-1, 189 pounds) is an innately skilled downfield threat and has adequate physical tools to capitalize on that skill set, boasting a 4.45-second 40 to go with an explosive 128-inch broad jump. Brown was arguably the most important player in North Carolina's high-powered offense, and in Washington, he'll be a dangerous downfield threat as defenses attempt to account for McLaurin and Samuel first.
