Catches hail mary Brown caught three of six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in an 18-15 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Brown had a quiet afternoon until he caught a tipped pass for a 52-yard, game-winning TD on the final snap of the game, but there were some positive signs even before the miraculous play, namely season highs for snap share (82 percent) and route share (85 percent). He's been targeted on 21 percent of his routes this season while typically operating as Washington's No. 2 receiver, only with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown poaching a bunch of routes and snap each week. If the added playing time wasn't just a one-week blip, Brown could emerge as a low-end fantasy starter in the second half of the season, starting with a Week 9 road game against the Giants.

Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary TD to Noah Brown gives Commanders 18-15 win over Bears

Jayden Daniels connected with Noah Brown on a 52-yard Hail Mary as time expired to give the Washington Commanders an 18-15 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday

Targeted once in win Brown caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.

Impact Brown's one target and one catch in Week 7 were both season lows in the five games he's played so far in 2024. The 28-year-old wideout played the second-most wide receiver snaps (42) in the contest, just behind Terry McLaurin (49). Brown has continued to see his role grow throughout the early part of the season, and its possible that he could eventually be considered a weekly starter for fantasy if he can make the most of his opportunities in Washington's passing attack. It may be difficult to take a step forward in Week 8, however, as the Commanders could be without rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) when they square off against the Bears.

Upgrades to full practice Brown (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Impact Brown missed Week 5 with the groin injury but then returned for Sunday's 30-23 loss to Baltimore and caught four of his team-high eight targets for 58 yards. He handled 66 percent snap share and 66 percent route share -- right around his season norms, and a good estimate of what to expect this Sunday against Carolina. Brown has caught either three or four passes in each of his four appearances for Washington, but last week was his first time drawing more than four targets in a game.

Still limited by groin injury Brown (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Brown continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps due to the groin injury that sidelined him Week 5, but the issue didn't stop him from suiting up this past Sunday in Baltimore, where he gathered in four of eight targets for 58 yards. He'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Commanders potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Draws season-high eight targets Brown caught four of eight targets for 58 yards in a 30-23 loss at Baltimore on Sunday.

Impact Brown returned to his role as the No. 2 receiver after missing Week 5 with a groin injury. His 66 percent route share was third best on the team, behind only WR Terry McLaurin (79 percent) and TE Zach Ertz (76 percent), and Brown led the team in both targets and air yards (101). While Brown doesn't get quite as many snaps/routes as a typical starter, he's been targeted at a surprisingly high rate this year, seeing the ball on 25 percent of his routes and accounting for 24 percent of Washington's air yards in his active games. A favorable Week 7 matchup against the Panthers makes Brown a reasonable lineup option for deep-ish leagues and DFS contests.

Returning to face Baltimore Brown (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Brown emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver prior to missing Week 5 with a groin injury, catching exactly three passes in each game Weeks 2-4. It's not likely to be a high-volume role, but the Commanders may be inclined to pass more than usual this weekend, facing a tough Baltimore run defense with RB Brian Robinson (knee) in danger of missing the game. Even so, Brown's volume is hard to project due to the possibility of sharing playing time with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown.

Limited in practice Brown (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Brown has been limited in back-to-back practices after missing Sunday's 34-13 win over Cleveland. An absence this Sunday at Baltimore would give Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus another shot at extra playing time, likely sharing the No. 2 WR role again. Terry McLaurin remains the runaway No. 1 receiver, and Luke McCaffrey's role as the No. 3 has been fairly steady.

Returns to practice Brown (groin) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

Impact Brown didn't practice last week and ultimately was ruled out for Sunday's 34-13 win over Cleveland. A return to practice at least puts him on the right track to upgrade to a 'questionable' designation ahead of Sunday's game at Baltimore. Brown's absence for Week 5 freed up more playing time for Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus, a duo that essentially shared the No. 2 receiver role.

Ruled out Brown (groin) will not play Sunday against the Browns, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brown has emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver, giving the offense a second deep/intermediate threat alongside Terry McLaurin. It's not a high-volume role, but Brown's absence for Week 5 does slightly boost the target projections for WRs Luke McCaffrey, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown.

Sits out Thursday's practice Brown (groin) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact After opening Week 5 prep Wednesday as a limited participant, Brown's downgrade to no activity a day later creates more uncertainty about his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. The Commanders will wait and see what, if anything, Brown can do at Friday's practice before potentially handing him a designation heading into the weekend.

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

Impact It's a new injury for Brown, who ranked second among Washington's wide receivers in snaps and routes the past two games. He's caught exactly three passes in each of his three appearances, with either three or four targets every week. Brown's ability to practice in any capacity suggests he's dealing with a minor injury ahead of Sunday's home game against the Browns.

Catches three passes Brown caught each of his three targets for 29 yards in a 38-33 win over the Bengals on Monday.

Impact Brown's 58 percent snap share was second most among Washington wide receivers but still less than what a starter would normally get. He again ceded some work to Dyami Brown, while Luke McCaffrey subbed in as the No. 3 receiver and primary slot man for three-wide formations. (Noah) Brown has made the most of his limited chances in two games, catching each of his six targets for 85 yards, so it's possible he gets more playing time Week 4 at Arizona.

Three grabs in win Brown caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

Impact Brown's 20 offensive snaps were the fewest of any Commander's wide receiver Sunday, however he paced the group with 56 yards in the contest. The veteran wideout was a healthy inactive in Week 1, but his performance against the Giants could help him to earn a more prominent role going forward. Brown is currently completing with Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus for playing time, so he has an uphill battle to see consistent usage in Washington's passing game until proven otherwise. The 28-year-old will have his next opportunity to prove himself in a Week 3 matchup with the Bengals.

Could make Washington debut Sunday Coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Brown is "definitely trending in the right direction" to be active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post r...

Impact Brown was a healthy scratch for the Commanders in Week 1, but it seems like that was simply due to the veteran wideout getting fully acclimated to a new offensive scheme, per Ben Standig of The Athletic. Behind No. 1 target Terry McLaurin and No. 2 receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, there's room for Brown to carve out a notable role on offense behind alongside Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown. It may take a bit more time for Brown to work up to a full snap share, though, as he joined forces with Washington as recently as late August.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch in Week 1 Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Buccaneers.

Impact The veteran wideout is somewhat of a surprise healthy scratch, considering the Commanders' relative lack of proven receiver depth behind clear No. 1 target Terry McLaurin. Nevertheless, Brown's inactive status will further clear a path for additional opportunities for rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown behind McLaurin and No. 2 receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.
